November 4, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 2026 midterm elections, the GREAT USA Coalition looks forward to working with policymakers on both sides of the aisle to strengthen America's position as a premier destination for international travelers.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, and other major international events bringing the world's attention to the United States, the years ahead present a historic opportunity to showcase our country, welcome visitors from around the world and generate lasting economic benefits for communities across America.

Stewart Verdery, Executive Director of the GREAT USA Coalition, issued the following statement:

"The GREAT USA Coalition congratulates all newly elected and returning members of Congress on their successful campaigns. As we look toward the final months of 2026 and the next Congress, we have an important opportunity to build on bipartisan collaboration and ensure the United States is well-positioned to welcome the world in the years ahead.

"As the U.S. prepares to host major global sporting events in the coming years, we have an opportunity to showcase the best of America, strengthen our economy and create lasting benefits for businesses and communities across the country.

"Capitalizing on these opportunities will require continued collaboration between Congress, the administration and the private sector. GREAT USA looks forward to working with leaders on both sides of the aisle to advance solutions that strengthen security, facilitate legitimate travel and ensure the United States remains a premier destination for visitors from around the world."
