This is where your voice matters most. The decisions made at caucuses ripple up through the entire party structure.
What do we do at the Precinct Caucus?
- We will listen to candidates running for local and state offices, for example, governor.
- Come and listen to the candidates and participate in a straw poll.
- We will elect delegates to go to the county convention.
- Elect delegates who will represent your precinct at future conventions. These delegates will endorse state and federal candidates.
- We will make resolutions that could shape the party platform.

Being elected as a delegate or alternate allows you to represent your precinct for the next two years at party conventions, endorsing conventions, and elect party the county’s executive committee.
