The January Caucus was a success. I would like to thank all those who were able to attend despite the freezing temperatures!
6th and 8th District Caucus (State Convention) delegates were approved for 2026.
Members heard from local candidates, district candidates and statewide candidates.
The proposed changes to the RPCC by-laws were approved unanimously and will be submitted to RPW. Resolution #1. also passed with unanimous consent and will be moved up to the 6th and 8th Districts.
I shared the successes of our efforts in 2025, including: *Knocking on over 900 doors for the Spring Election *Increasing early voter turnout by 78% over the 2023 spring election *Increasing absentee ballot returns. *100 % increase in sportsman turnout over 2023. *Holding multiple fundraising events which allowed us to donate $5k to the WI Supreme Court campaign and much more.
This year we are supporting local candidates in many ways: *Providing access to campaign training * Providing access to the door knocking and phone app training *Providing review of literature and materials *Assistance with door knocking, lit distribution, inclusion on the Badgervote.com voter guide, $250 to help them with campaign costs and providing multiple opportunities to speak before membership and community members to get their message out.
At the caucus in January, the caucus delegates approved a $6K donation to Judge Maria Lazar's campaign as she runs for WI Supreme Court. Because the donation was submitted by January 31st at midnight, our donation was matched by a generous donor.
We certainly need all hands-on deck this March as we mobilize our GOTV (Get Out The Vote Efforts).
We hope you can join us.
Respectfully,
Barbara Bittner Republican Party of Calumet County Chair
