By Dan Schleeter, Chair, Lake County Republicans
February 27th is precinct caucus night. Republicans across Minnesota will be gathering in their neighborhoods. It will be an opportunity to meet with your like-minded neighbors and discuss issues like runaway inflation, securing the border nationally, and how to fight back against the trifecta control of our state government.
At the Lake County Republicans caucuses, we will vote on delegates to begin the first step in choosing our candidates for election for everything from MN House Districts to the U.S. President, and we will propose and discuss resolutions as the first step in forming our state and national party platforms.
The Lake County Republicans caucuses will be on Tuesday, February 27, 2024 at 7:00 PM. Doors open at 6:30. Join us!

The Lake County Republicans caucuses are open to any Lake County resident who agrees with the principles of the Republican Party. Those principles include support for the Constitution, the right to keep and bear arms, strong national defense, border security, protecting the unborn, fair election processes, and mining, among others. Although anyone who identifies with these Republican values will be welcome, only those eligible to vote by Election Day on November 5th can participate. Attendees are welcome to participate or simply observe.
Political party actions and candidates are shaped directly by the people who show up and participate.
Governmental policy and success for the people reflect the effectiveness of your personal political activity. The Lake County Republicans look forward to having you with us. Make sure your vote counts. Attend your precinct caucus.
