Saturday morning San Juan Island Democrats showed up at the High School for the Democratic Caucus. The crowd easily overwhelmed the common room and had to move into the gym.

Organizers did a fantastic job of managing the crowd and making sure all who showed up could participate. After gathering together and hearing announcements we moved into separate classrooms with our precincts to tally our votes, speak for our candidates, and select delegates and alternates who will attend the County Convention on May 1st.

It was great to hear my neighbors speak on behalf of their chosen candidates with such passion and thoughtfulness.  This is ground level democracy. Well done San Juan County Democrats!
