Exercise your voice at grass-roots level

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

Dear Neighbor,

 

I encourage citizens of all political affiliations to participate in grass-roots government by attending their local precinct caucuses 7 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 4.

 

Republicans, Democrats and other parties will host separate meetings throughout the state. These meetings are open to the public, you just need to be eligible to vote in the fall election and live in the precinct in order to fully participate in the meeting. Members will elect precinct officers, discuss issues and ideas for the party to support, conduct a straw poll for governor, elect delegates for the political conventions and vote on other party business.

 

Precinct caucus veterans, feel free to bring friends and family who maybe are not active in this process. Young people also are invited to attend so they can attend as observers, learn how the system works and lay the groundwork for involvement.

The Minnesota Secretary of State’s office provides more information about precinct caucuses – including specific meeting locations – at http://www.sos.state.mn.us/index.aspx?page=886.

Good luck and I hope you can attend your caucus meeting Feb. 4.

 

Sincerely,

Tom
