SAN ANTONIO Visit San Antonio has made a last-minute push to host the Republican National Convention in the Alamo City, but it appears the event is headed east to Florida. According to several reports, Jacksonville is reportedly the top pick to host the RNC. On Saturday, Visit San Antonio President and CEO Cassandra Matej sent a letter (see document below) to City Manager Erik Walsh, saying local business leaders had approached Visit SA about the Alamo City hosting the convention. Matej sent KSAT the following statement:Visit San Antonio was not approached by the RNC about making a bid for the conference. Charlotte, North Carolina, was originally going to host the RNC.
