NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams and the union that represents New York City’s hotel workers are bringing their pitch to host the Democratic National Convention to Washington, D.C., this week in a television ad that’s set to start airing Tuesday.
The ad, which is slated to run on CNN and MSNBC in the D.C. metro area, features Adams and members of the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council touting the Big Apple’s diversity and labor-friendly bona fides and is intended to get the attention of President Joe Biden and members of the Democratic National Committee, who will ultimately decide where the 2024 convention is held.
“The DNC belongs in NYC,” Adams says in the ad. “Welcome to New York. We are waiting for you.”
