ROTARY LUNCHEON: John Rothmann and the 2024 Republican National Convention

John Rothmann returns to speak to our Club at the same time as the 2024 Republican National Convention is being held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He will share his observations and thoughts about the events at the Convention. As always, John will welcome questions from the audience.  

John is a KGO 810 radio talk show host and political commentator. A frequent lecturer on American politics and the presidency, Rothmann has also been involved in a broad variety of political campaigns on the national, state and local levels. In his book Thomas E. Dewey and the Making of the Modern Republican Party, presidential scholar Richard Norton Smith calls Rothmann "a scholar of modern Republicanism". Historian Roger Morris in his biography, Richard Millhous Nixon-The Rise of An American Politician, acknowledges Rothmann "for his unique insights, and in particular for rare and crucial materials ..." 

John has been on the faculty of the Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco since 2004. Rothmann is the co-author of Icon of Evil: Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam and Harold E. Stassen: The Life and Perennial Candidacy of the Progressive Republican. He was a consultant on the published books, The Jews in America, A Day in the Life of Israel, and Jerusalem: In the Shadow of Heaven. His personal library of 15,000 volumes is widely recognized as one of the finest libraries of American political history and biography in the United States.
