Important Message from the CCRCC Chair Man Walt Martens:
New County Caucus Guidelines under State of Emergency
President Trump and Governor Parson, respectively, have declared our country and state in a state of
emergency. This is not only affecting all of our daily lives but also presents challenges to our democratic
process and calls for needed changes in these trying times.
The Missouri Republican Party has been working closely with President Trump’s campaign team as well
as the RNC to come up with a solution for being able to hold our caucuses. In light of the ongoing COVID-
19 outbreak, the RNC has indicated that they are going to be extremely flexible with state parties about
how the initial stages of the caucus process are conducted. “Initial stages” refers to County Caucuses,
not CD or State Conventions. “Extremely flexible” means allowing us to find ways to meet in a
teleconference instead of caucus in person and still be in compliance with RNC. If we are found to be not
in compliance, we risk losing at least half our delegation to the national convention and other possible
penalties.
On Monday, March 16th, 2020, the Executive Committee of the Missouri Republican State Committee
unanimously approved a plan to implement new procedures for the election of delegates and alternates
to the Congressional District and State Conventions. The RNC has approved these changes, allowing
Missouri to be in full compliance.
Under the new process 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.
We ask that you set your conference calls between 10 a.m. and 12 noon.
New Process for County Caucus on April 4 by Teleconference:
1. Only elected members of the Central Committee may participate.
2. County Central Committee Chair presides over meeting.
Further updates will be provided soon.
Walt Martens, CCRCC Chair
