Clark County presidential
caucuses coming in February

Clark County Democrats and Republicans will be watching for the results of the Iowa presidential caucuses closely this evening. Local Democrats are gathering at 6 p.m. this evening in Dublin Down, 813 Main Street sports bar, in hopes of getting early results from cable television, according to Mike Heywood, editor of The Democrat, Clark County’s Democratic party newsletter.

Members of both major political parties in Clark County will be holding county presidential caucuses from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9. In most cases the caucuses will be conducted in public school locations with members of both parties caucusing in differing locations in the same schools.

While local caucuses will certainly influence the Washington State conventions later next spring, the final determination of whom state political parties will nominate for president will come during the state conventions.
