Letter To The Editor - Caucus is important

Dear Editor,

The Cheyenne County Democratic Caucus will take place at the Cheyenne County Community Center in Sidney on March 5 at 10 a.m. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m.

This is the first determining step in the selection process. This will decide between Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, who will be Nebraska’s choice for the presidential nominee. Nebraska has 25 delegates and five super delegates. With 56 percent of the delegates to be awarded nationally, in the month of March, Nebraska wanted to be included in that number. This is your choice, as a Democract, to voice how Nebraska should award its delegates.

The number of persons attending the Cheyenne County caucus will determine the number of delegates to the state convention in Kearney, June 17-19. We encourage all Democrats to attend and voice your vote. 

Clara Benisek
