Chris Murphy and U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, among others.

Why it matters
The potential hosting of a major national convention could drive significant temporary tourism and event revenue for Boston. The gathering of political figures and media in the area could also increase travel demand and necessitate higher security costs for local services.
