Local Caucus Around the Corner

Next Tuesday is the local caucus for my neck of the woods. A wonderful event is being planned that I hope will bring out voters and the general public to participate.

It'll open with a great chowder supper free to the public. Shortly after dinner, we'll get a chance to listen to just about all of the candidates running for governor as well as those running for local offices. Questions will be welcome. A silent auction will also take place with gift certificates offered to local restaurants and businesses. This is a fundraiser for the local republican party.

Afterward those of us registered to vote will caucus. We'll elect officers of the caucus, a chairman and secretary, then elect town committee officers, county committee delegates, ballot clerks and delegates and alternates to the Maine State Convention to be held in May.
