MOGOP Passes Emergency Measures Altering Caucus Process

JEFFERSON CITY—Amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and President Trump’s recommendation that gatherings of 10 or more people should be avoided, the Missouri Republican State Committee’s Executive Committee met by conference call on Monday to consider emergency measures altering the 2020 caucus process. During this meeting, the committee unanimously voted to implement new procedures for the election of delegates and alternates to the Congressional District and State Conventions. Under the new process, county caucuses will not be held. Instead, County Republican Central Committees will meet by phone on April 4 to vote on slates of delegates and alternates to the Congressional District and State Conventions. “The Missouri Republican Party is committed to protecting the health and well-being of Missourians. We are following the lead of President Trump, Governor Parson, and our local officials in working to halt the spread of this dangerous virus,” said Kay Hoflander, Chair of the Missouri Republican Party. “The situation we face is both unprecedented and rapidly changing, and we believe that altering our caucus process is the responsible and prudent thing to do.” The Congressional District Conventions on May 30 and the State Convention on June 20 are not affected by this change.

Lafayette County Lincoln Dinner postponed due to health and safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Lafayette County

LINCOLN DINNER POSTPONED, DATE TBA.

The Missouri Republican Party is asking all of our county committees to postpone their Lincoln Dinners and other gatherings and is calling on all Republican County Central Committees to postpone their Lincoln Dinners until summer and hold them in June, July, August or September.

It would also be prudent to not hold any other gatherings at this time. We will all watch for guidance from President Trump and Governor Parson and the CDC on this and other health and safety matters related to COVID-19 virus. Thanks everyone for your patience and for your support and prayers for our leaders.
