At several Republican National Conventions, Kemp has delivered speeches.
He addressed the convention on July 15 at the 1980 Republican National Convention in Detroit, Michigan and on August 21 at the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas.
During the 1984 Convention, with Trent Lott as Republican Party Platform Committee Chairman, Congressmen Kemp and Newt Gingrich claimed control of the party platform to the consternation of G. O. P.
senators Bob Dole and Howard Baker.
Kemp's official role was as the chairman of the platform subcommittee on foreign policy.
However, the three platform planks that he proposed involved tax hikes, the gold standard and the role of the Federal Reserve.
Despite Kemp's official role, his real influence as an author was on the grammatical structure of the plank on tax hikes.
By 1985, Kemp was a leading contender for the 1988 Presidential nomination.
He also delivered remarks on free enterprise zones at the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston, Texas.
Despite efforts and considerations of expanding his political domain, Kemp never held a fundraiser outside of his suburban Western New York district until well into his eighth term in Congress.
