Have a Town Caucus – Organize Your Municipal Republican Committee
Every town and city in Androscoggin County has the right—and the opportunity—to hold its own Municipal Republican Caucus. This is the essential first step to forming or revitalizing a local Republican committee, giving residents direct control over GOP activities in their community.
Why Hold a Town Caucus?
A municipal caucus is where enrolled Republicans in your town come together to:
-
Form or reorganize the Municipal Republican Committee.
-
Elect a municipal chair and officers (secretary, treasurer if desired).
-
Nominate full voting members to the Androscoggin County Republican Committee (per allocation: e.g., 6 for Leeds, 8 for Durham/Greene).
-
Elect delegates to the Maine Republican State Convention (e.g., 11 for Leeds).
-
Discuss local issues, recruit volunteers, and build momentum for Republican candidates.
Holding a caucus empowers your town—independent of county leadership—to recruit, train, support candidates, and send strong representatives to county and state levels.
How the Caucus Builds Momentum
Your town caucus is the spark that ignites Republican strength:
-
Local Level – Form a committed municipal committee to canvass, host events, and support town/school board candidates.
-
County Level – Elected members join the Androscoggin County Republican Committee with full voting rights, shaping county strategy and events.
-
Fundraising & Unity – Momentum fuels county-wide gatherings like the Lincoln Day Dinner (March 7, 2026).
-
State Level – Delegates influence the Maine GOP platform, leadership, and national delegate selection at the State Convention.
One caucus starts it all—from your town to statewide wins.
How to Organize a Caucus in Your Town
Any enrolled Republican can call a caucus—here's the simple process:
-
