Louisiana Republican Caucuses New Date - June 6
Caucuses will Elect Louisiana Delegates to Republican National Convention
Location: Courtyard by Marriott
2995 L'Auberge Blvd, Lake Charles, LA 70601, United States Time: 11:30 AM - 4:30 PM The Republican Party of Louisiana will conduct caucuses on June 6 in at least 15 locations throughout Louisiana to elect Congressional District delegates to the Republican National Convention. Any registered Republican in Louisiana may vote in the caucus.
After considerable discussions, in an effort to conduct an in-person caucus instead of an online caucus, the Executive Committee recently authorized the later date for the caucuses. The LAGOP Executive Committee, led by Chairman Louis Gurvich, strongly prefers an in-person, traditional caucus. Pushing the date of the caucus back to June 6 was done out of a sincere hope that the difficulties surrounding COVID-19 crisis will have subsided sufficiently to conduct the caucuses in-person. At the caucus, Republicans will vote to elect 3 delegate & 3 alternates to the Republican National Convention to be held August 24-27 in Charlotte, NC. The locations of the caucus are not yet finalized. Andrew Bautsch, Executive Director of the Republican Party of Louisiana will be working in the coming days to secure at least 15 caucus locations throughout the state. Further details will be forthcoming. The State Convention to elect twenty five (25) at-large delegates to the National Convention will be held June 13 in Lafayette. Precinct Captain 2-Phase Report Announced Delegates for the Republican National Convention are requested to recruit 50 Precinct Captains to receive the endorsement of the Trump campaign. Precinct Captains will now have a 2 phase deadline to submit reports. Phase 1 Substantially Complete deadline is Tuesday May 26. At this date, each Precinct Captain Report should be 90% complete. Phase 2 Supplemental Report deadline is Monday, June 1. Reports may be supplemented up to 10%. Fight Back! Be a Precinct Captain for TrumpEvery day for the last 3 years, the media has been attacking President Trump. The Trump campaign has asked Trump supporters in all 50 states to organize a great grassroots effort to counter the media attacks.
Precinct Captains are gearing up to continue the work they started in February - identifying pro-Trump voters, then implementing Get Out the Vote efforts. Before the COVID-19 crisis, Precinct Captains successfully contacted local residents to remind them to vote at the caucus. As the crisis gradually subsides, Precinct Captains will re-start and identify even more pro-Trump voters. If you already are serving as a Precinct Captain, please send in your report of 10 Households. If you have not yet volunteered to serve as a Precinct Captain, please contact us today. You may send in your request or make your report by sending an email to CF.North1207@gmail.com. For new Precinct Captains, include your name, address and phone number as it appears on the voter file. Cindy will send you instructions and a voter file for your very own precinct. In addition, there are candidates for delegate all across the state who are recruiting Precinct Captains who would be happy to help. Republican National Convention-Aug 24-27The Republican National Convention will take place August 24-27 in Charlotte, NC. Delegates elected in Louisiana will join over 2,000 delegates nationwide to nominate Donald Trump.
There are currently five (5) Presidential candidates on the ballot in Louisiana. In addition to President Donald Trump, Republican Presidential candidates include Rocky De La Fuente of California, Bob Ely of Illinois, Matthew Matern of California and William Weld of Connecticut.
