MINNESOTA PRECINCT CAUCUSES A MONTH AWAY

Minnesota Democrats, Republicans and Independents are getting ready for precinct caucuses on Tuesday, February 5th. Crow Wing County Republican Chair Dale Walz said this is the month to make final preparations, the nuts and bolts of the event. Walz said the party expects to have caucuses in four or five central locations this year. House District 12 Chair Yvonne Leiser said this is a very important day in Minnesota's political process. Democrat Party caucuses will be held at Brainerd High School, Republicans are considering CLC, Crosby-Ironton High School, Crosslake Community Center and Nisswa Elementary School. The Indpendents are still putting their list of locations together. Leiser said promoting precinct caucuses should be fairly easy because the Presidential and Senatorial campaigns will be contacting voters to urge them to attend.
