Thousands of people will descend on Philadelphia next month for the Democratic National Convention.
Local businesses are expected to benefit from that foot traffic and the convention's estimated $300 million economic impact, as Hillary Clinton is crowned the party's presidential nominee.
The Democratic National Committee has already awarded contracts for merchandising, construction, transportation and event production for the four-day event on July 25-28.
Of the $150 million already spent by the committee, most of the money has gone to local businesses owned by women and minorities.
Clinton outraises Trump by 3,353 percent in battleground Pennsylvania
Donald Trump has a lot of work to do if he wants Pennsylvania to send him to the White House.
For example, an African-American-owned transportation company will provide buses and shuttles during the convention, according to The Atlantic.
Another African-American-owned business was hired to print business cards for the event, the magazine reported.
Leap Starr, owned by Liz Jenkins Santana, won the contract to plan PoliticalFest.
Jenkins Santana, who identifies as Native-American, African-American and Caucasian, said the contract is a big win for a small business and the largest Leap Starr has received for a one-time event, The Atlantic reported. ............................

(Note: Not necessarily complaining, just reminding that delegates have to pay out of pocket, if you know any delegates in your district, you should reach out to them to give them a twenty or so or whatever to help the costs.)
