The precinct caucus is held in even-numbered years. It is a meeting of neighbors living in a certain area, or precinct, that support a particular party and get together to decide the direction of that party.
All caucus precinct meetings for HD53A Republicans will be Tuesday, February 7th, starting at 7 p.m. They will be held at the Centennial Middle School, 399 Elm Street in Lino Lakes. See map. Know your precinct to help find the meeting room at the school.

The caucus is the very start of the political process and you will be helping to select the candidates that our party selects to run for office in the next election.
Okay great....but what do I do when I get there?
COME EARLY. When you show up you'll be asked to register.. By registering, you state your general intent to support the Republican party in the upcoming election and that you agree with the principles set forth by the party. From this point you can be as active a participant as you want.
You will also have the opportunity to present issues important to you that you would like to see the party address in its platform. You may first want to read the platform to see if your issue or proposal is already incorporated in it.
Read Party Platform
After going through the platform if there are important issues that you'd like to present as resolutions to be included, consider drafting them now. Doing this in advance of the caucus will give you plenty of time to research and write your resolution and to ensure it is not already covered in the platform.
