What is an Issue Caucus?

An Issue Caucus is a grouping of members of a specific special interest group! Currently, we have a Stonewall, Seniors, Young Dems, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Caucuses!

Additionally, we would like to restart Healthcare and the Progressive Caucuses and would like to create an LDS Caucus! 

 

Here are the following descriptions and qualifications to be a part of the caucus! 
 

  • Stonewall - This caucus is for anyone that identifies with the LGBTQA+ community or those that are allies! This caucus works towards creating a place for like-minded people to have a community within the party and work with the county party on LBGTQA+ on political goals.   Any self-identifying LGBTQA+ individuals & Allies are welcome to join.
