What’s Happening

A message from the Democratic Committee

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As you may already know, our recent Democratic caucus in Red Hook was nullified due to objections and a procedural error at the Dutchess County Board of Elections. We believe that every Democrat in our community deserves a fair and transparent process and an opportunity to participate again.

We will hold a new caucus and, while the full details (date, time, location) will be shared shortly, we wanted to give you this heads-up as soon as possible so you can plan to participate. Your voice matters, and your presence is vital.

We also want to acknowledge that caucuses come with challenges. While we are proud of the work we did to ensure a high turnout and a safe and smooth process, we know caucuses can be confusing, difficult to attend, and not the most inclusive way to engage voters. That’s why we have committed to moving toward primary voting as a more accessible and democratic method of selecting candidates in the future. Until we are able to make this change, we will be working hard to communicate the caucus processes clearly, with the goal of making this event as inclusive as the format allows.

Thank you for your understanding and continued involvement. We’ll be back in touch soon with more details.

In solidarity,

Red Hook Democratic Committee
