The caucuses were a smashing success. I’m not a person who throws around superlatives, but the participation was so high in some areas we were all amazed.

To the right are some figures I’ve collected and a comparison with the caucus attendance two years ago. Some of the districts had spectacular increases in attendance.

A big thank you to Hinckley, the legislative district chairs, and the caucus coordinators across the county who put the caucuses together this year. We are grateful for your hard work.

Our convention is coming up in May and all Democrats are invited to attend. Only the county delegates will be allowed to participate in the voting, but everyone is welcome to attend and join the celebration.
It is a celebration because we’ve already made great strides in changing politics in Utah County. We should celebrate that. We all should be proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish so far.

There is still much to be done. We’ll talk about that and ask for your support as the campaign goes on. Candidates need support in many ways. Funds need to be raised to provide resources for these wonderful candidates.

But for a morning in May we’ll just meet, enjoy the association with each other, mingle with our candidates, and relish the moment. Come join us.

The convention is on Friday, May 3, at 9 a.m. at Dixon Middle School. I look forward to seeing you all there.
