Door County Republican Party Chairperson Stephanie Soucek will be among the thousands converging on Milwaukee this week for the Republican National Convention. Soucek was elected as one delegate to represent the district at the convention, which will conclude with the nomination of former President Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for President. A portion of the convention will include a discussion surrounding the party's platform, published last week. Soucek acknowledged that much of the dissent around the platform is its stance on abortion, which, according to the Associated Press, failed to mention a national ban on the practice for the first time in 40 years.

Part of the appeal of running as a delegate for this year's Republican National Convention was that it is in Milwaukee, the first time the party has ever hosted the event in the Badger State. She says it is a tremendous opportunity to showcase the state and build on the momentum surrounding Trump and the Republican Party.

The Republican National Convention runs at the Fiserv Forum from July 15th through July 18th.
