Why Caucuses Matter
Caucuses are where grassroots politics actually begins.
Unlike a typical election, a caucus isn’t just about casting a vote and going home. It’s where neighbors gather to shape the direction of their party, choose local leaders, and decide which voices will represent them at the next level.
At a caucus, you can:
- Help determine party priorities and platform positions
- Support candidates before their names ever appear on a ballot
- Become a delegate or alternate and influence future endorsements
- Meet fellow activists and leaders in your community
Caucuses matter because the people who show up are the people who decide. Turnout is smaller than in a general election, which means each person’s voice carries more weight. One night of participation can influence months — or even years — of political outcomes.
If you care about who represents your values, what issues your party fights for, and the future of your community, the caucus is where your involvement makes the biggest impact.
Show up. Speak up. Be counted.
