NO PRECINCT CAUCUSES IN FEBRUARY FOR CLARK COUNTY DEMOCRATS
County Democrats Announce Legislative District Caucuses and County Convention
The decision to forego Democratic precinct caucuses was made by the Washington State Democratic Central Committee and as a result the Clark County Democrats will not hold precinct caucuses in February. Inaccurate information had been printed in a previous edition of The Columbian indicating both political parties will hold precinct caucuses. A response by the chair of the Clark County Democrats was printed January 17th in The Columbian.
However, recent email through their website requesting information on Democratic precinct caucuses prompted the Clark County Democrats to issue this statement as a reminder that no Democratic precinct caucuses will be held on February 13, 2010.
Instead, planning is underway for the Clark County Democratic legislative district caucuses and county convention. “We are pleased to announce the Clark County Democrats will hold both our county convention and legislative district caucuses on April 10, 2010 at Hudson’s Bay High School,” stated Dena Horton, Chair of the Clark County Democratic Central Committee (CCDCC).
The legislative district caucuses and county convention are open to all Clark County Democrats not just precinct committee officers and Democratic elected officials. During the legislative district caucuses, delegates will be selected to attend the Washington State Democratic Convention on June 25-26 in Vancouver. Horton continued, “The CCDCC invites all Clark County Democrats to participate on April 10th in the delegate selection process and to hear from our Democratic elected officials and our outstanding candidates for local, state, and federal offices.”
More information about the county convention and legislative district caucuses will be available at www.bluedonkeys.com as event details are confirmed.
