Writer: Join the DFL SD49 Precinct Caucus on Feb. 27 at EPHS

You’re invited! 

You’ve probably heard of town hall meetings, where people discuss their concerns with neighbors and elected representatives.  

You may have voted in a primary election, to pick a party candidate for a general election. 

A precinct caucus gives you the best of both of these ideas. It’s a one-night meeting of neighbors who have busy, full lives.

At a caucus, you get to talk about ideas and concerns, then vote with neighbors to have the concerns put into action as a resolution, and possibly have it become a law or regulation.  

You’ll meet candidates, and can share your concerns and ideas with them.

You can offer help to candidates you support.

You can be a delegate, alternate, or convention volunteer to get your ideas and goals into action at conventions.
