    Where it all begins... Caucus

    Welcome to the very first episode of the Don't Tread On Mae podcast. I invited my friend Kristi Burton Brown the Colorado GOP Chairwoman to talk about the first steps in a citizen’s engagement with representative government- otherwise known as CAUCUS!  It's fitting having KBB on for this episode because I met her on day one at my own Caucus two years ago! She has been a great resource on how local government works and a dear friend as I navigate the political environment!  If you feel inclined to get involved this is a great introduction to what Caucus is and how it looks to jump right in! As mentioned in the interview Colorado GOP has a Citizen Bootcamp on February 17th at 7 pm on zoom to talk about Caucus participation to register for that class follow this link: https://www.cologop.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/COGOP-Citizen-Training-Bootcamp-.pdf If you live in Arapahoe County and want to get involved fill out this form linked below and I will personally help you find out what your precinct number is and connect you directly to your leadership! It's a lot to navigate so I hope to be of service to those who want to jump in and help! Sign up in Arapahoe County here: https://forms.gle/VJTaQNXSF2A5pKfM9 Here's some definitions: Precinct – The smallest political division in the county which consists of no more than 2000 registered voters. In urban areas, this is generally “neighborhood” in size.   Precinct Committee Person or Precinct Leaders – There are typically two precinct committee people elected for two-year terms for each precinct, though many are vacant. They represent the precinct with the County Republican Party and perform other functions throughout their term such as Get Out The Vote they also have a voice in county party leadership as well. Delegate – Delegates are elected from each precinct to represent the precinct at the County and State Assembly to choose Republican candidates to appear on the primary ballot.  County Assembly – The delegates at the county assembly will select Republican candidates to appear on the primary ballot for county offices, and will elect delegates to go to other assemblies to select Republican candidates to appear on the primary ballot for statewide and federal races.  Other Assemblies – Other Assemblies (or “Higher Assemblies”) are assemblies that meet to select Republican candidates to appear on the primary ballot for offices that comprise a geographic region other than County. This includes House District Assemblies, Senate District Assembly, Judicial District Assembly, Congressional District Assembly, and the State Assembly.  The progression goes CAUCUS > County Assembly > Other Assemblies  Make sure to follow Don't Tread On Mae on social media: Facebook  or  Instagram and Twitter  Followour guest Colorado GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown on Twitter  Also, bookmark https://www.cologop.org/ if you are in Colorado so you can stay up to date on what's going on in CO!
