More than 230 Democrats participated in our traditional biennial caucuses across Waldo County the first weekend in February. All of our twenty-six municipalities convened a caucus in one of fourteen different locations, allowing for true grassroots participation. Waldo County now has thirteen local Democratic committees, including seven regional committees formed by two or more towns joining together. Visit our Local Committees page to see all of them.
Knowing how vitally important this year’s elections are, a huge team of volunteers worked together to make the caucuses happen. We recruited individual conveners for every single town and city, plus additional volunteers to work with them to help spread the word, conduct the meetings, and take care of paperwork. Others helped with set-up and clean-up, provided refreshments, collected petition signatures, and signed up volunteers. Still more volunteers worked to design, print, label, sign, and mail 5,000 postcards to Democratic households in every corner of the county.
Candidates and public officials attended as many caucuses as they possibly could over the two-day caucus weekend, speaking with caucus-goers, collecting signatures, and asking for volunteers and other support. Local leaders stepped up to be elected officers of their committees, to plan events and organize all the volunteers it takes to win in November.
Now, WCDC is hard at work building on the energy and enthusiasm Democrats have looking towards the elections, starting with Presidential Primary Day March 5. We’re reaching out to everyone who signed up to volunteer and planning all kinds of events and initiatives to carry the momentum from caucuses forward through to Election Day.
