Caucus Business
At caucus, registered Republicans will participate in the presidential poll, the election of Central Committee members, the election of county delegates, and the submission of platform planks.
- Central Committee members meet once a month and help run events, elect Republicans, and lead the Story County GOP.
- Delegates will represent their precinct at the county convention, and can be elected to serve at the district, state, and national levels. These delegates will vote on GOP candidates if none receive 35% of the primary vote and changes in the platform.
- Platform planks are the public statement of the county or state party values and goals. These can be sent with your precinct delegates.
Platform
In preparation for the caucus, you are most welcome to review our county platform and our state platform. If there are any statements (called "planks") that you wish to submit, please have those ready to write down at caucus.
