– The Democratic National Committee once again visited Philadelphia. DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other arrived Wednesday morning.

Here’s more:

A person familiar with the convention bid says the DNC group was greeted by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, two of the city’s biggest boosters.

Mayor Nutter lead a tour of the city’s convention venues and historical highlights, such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, to remind DNC officials why Philadelphia is the best choice in terms of logistics, hotel rooms, security and convention space, according to the person familiar with the plans.

Philadelphia boosters have emphasized their convention experience and space with the Wells Fargo Center and the recently expanded Philadelphia Convention Center. The city hosted the Republican National Convention in 2000. Officials say they’ll be able to handle the $55 million to $60 million price tag.

Late last week, Wasserman Schultz announced that the convention will take place the week of July 25, 2016.

Philadelphia, New York and Columbus, Ohio are the final three contenders to host the DNC convention.
