MILWAUKEE — The Republican National Convention wrapped up on Thursday.
The nation's eyes were focused on former President Trump following an assassination attempt in Butler County, Pennsylvania the previous Saturday.
District 2 State Senator Theresa Gavarone from Bowling Green and Ottawa County Republican Party chair Jill Stinebaugh were at the convention serving as delegates.
Both say the RNC was a memorable event that they will never forget.
"It was really incredible. I received a call and was asked to be a delegate, and I immediately said, yes," said Gavarone. "It's really incredible to be a part of history, to witness history in the making at that moment."
Gavarone says that was the feeling for her and the other 2,500 delegates who had a firsthand view from inside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
"It was wonderful. Everyone there was unified," said Gavarone. "We were unified as a party, and everyone there was having fun. It was a very fun environment. Everyone there was just happy to be there and happy to support President Trump."
Ottawa County Republican chair Jill Stinebaugh says based on what she saw the republicans are in good shape for November.
Stinebaugh says one of powerful moments of the convention was seeing the diversity of the crowd.
"It was really impressive too, how multicultural the Republican Party has become. All the people that spoke, you know, it was like, it was amazing. So, you know, I think he will be a wonderful president if he wins," said Stinebaugh.
And then came the appearance from Former President Trump, still bandaged after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Steinbaugh says his speech really showed his efforts to unify the country.
"When he first spoke it was subdued, as he told a story about the assassination attempt, but as he went on, you could feel it. You could feel his bravado coming back, and it was Donald Trump, and when I was listening to him, he wants us to be unified," said Stinebaugh. "It really humanized him, because there have been so many attacks on him, and demonizing him. It really showed who he really was, you know, a husband, a father, grandfather, had his grandchildren there. His granddaughter spoke. It was very touching."
Stinebaugh says the Ottawa County Republican party has many events planned in the coming months to help get Republicans elected in the November election.
