All Politics is Local : Guest Writer- Mark Mnich

Every two years in early-mid January of even-numbered years (which means our next opportunity will be in 2014), a caucus is held to elect the membership of every Town Committee in the state of CT (both Republican AND Democrat BTW). A few towns actually require you to obtain signatures to be on the ballot but in almost every case all you need to do is show up on caucus night as a registered Republican and say you want to be on the ballot. Check with your local registrar or town clerk to find out what the local rules are as well as the maximum number of members your local RTC can have.
That figure is important to know because if there are more people at the caucus asking to be members than there are positions to be filled (for example, only 36 can be members but 48 show up), an election is held AT THE CAUCUS by the registered Republicans IN ATTENDANCE. In order to guarantee yourself a membership slot on the RTC, you will need to have at least enough votes in the room to overcome the possible objection of the incumbent members of your RTC. But if you can actually get enough like-minded Republican conservatives in your town to show up at the caucus and agree to be members by nominating each other, you can literally “throw ALL the bums out” so to speak!
