Went to some training once and this is what was recommended.

  • Campaign in advance in your district.
  • Candidates will try getting their own delegates elected.
  • Know you’re stand on issues
  • Practice a 2 min presentation to share why others should vote for you
  • Know dates that delegates must be present and what will happen at those meetings.
  • Those who don’t get chosen are often willing to help you.
  • Become familiar your precinct.
  • Get a map of the precinct.
  • Get a list of officers, fellow delegates.
  • List of attendees of last caucus from precinct chair or county party.
  • List of registered votes in your district from county elections.
  • List of candidates and learn what their opinions are on issues.
  • Contact voters and ask them to vote for you
  • Ask list to come to the caucus and vote for you.
  • Work with other people who also want to be elected. Decide in advance between you who want what office.
  • Combine your efforts with likeminded people.
  • Send flyers the night before the caucus meeting to get people to come and vote for you.
  • Stay to the very end of the voting meetings. Last year one candidate won by 1 vote.
  • Raise your profile with
  1. Deliver flyers on republican issues or reminders of caucus meetings.
  2. Register voters some may want to do absent votes.
  3. Ask them what they want for on issues.
  4. Hold cottage meetings such as on a debate night etc.
  5. Hold a candidate debate party.

Run for every position.

  • You need to know the duties of the office you are elected for.
  • Know the issues and the candidates.
  • Give citizens a good reason to want to vote for you.
  • Have someone nominate you. It looks better.
  • Thanks Adriel Heggy for the training.
