Hudson Resident Was the Man Behind the Republican National Convention

Meet Hudson's Jeff Larson - the man who was responsible for moving Heaven and Earth to make the GOP Convention happen in Cleveland.

Meet Jeff Larson, the man responsible for moving Heaven and Earth to make it all happen last week in Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena.

According to a report from the Jamestown Sun, Larson was busy organizing transportation for 25,000 peopleβ€”including delegates, media and other attendeesβ€”was among the biggest challenges, Larson said.
