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.

We sincerely hope that you and your family are safe and healthy!
Out of an abundance of caution and continued social distancing, we regret to have to cancel our 2020 Christian County Lincoln-Trump Days Dinner event.
If you had planned to attend and have the funds available to spare to donate your ticket value, perhaps you may consider a donation of $30 (or more if you so chose) to make up for the loss of this main fund raiser so we can continue to support our
Republican agenda and conservative values for the 2020 election to continue to
KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
Thank You All!
