With Democratic precinct caucuses out of the way, party leaders in Clallam and Jefferson counties are looking ahead to April’s county conventions.
There, delegates will consider a number of resolutions proposed by voters during Saturday’s caucuses and adopt the 2004 Democratic platforms for each county.
“We now have to really get busy and organize our convention,” SunLand resident John Pollock, Clallam County’s Democratic state committeeman and chairman of the 24th Legislative District Democratic Central Committee, said Sunday.
Voters in both counties who filled and overflowed schools and community meeting spaces at Saturday’s precinct caucuses — where John Kerry garnered the most delegates — not only cast their votes for a Democratic presidential nominee but also voiced resolutions ranging from same-sex marriage to a proposed “pit-to-pier” project on Hood Canal.
In Jefferson County, Democratic state Committeeman Bill McLaughlin of Port Ludlow said he counted 15-20 different resolutions that covered a broad spectrum of issues.
