GREEN RIVER – Due to what is expected to be a large turnout, the Executive Committee of the Sweetwater County Democratic Party has made the decision to secure a larger venue for the 2016 Presidential Caucus and County Convention. Originally planned to take place at the Green River Campus of WWCC, the event will now be held at Lincoln Middle School in Green River.

Joe Barbuto, Chairman of the Sweetwater Democratic Party said, “All across the nation, and particularly in the Western States, record numbers of voters have been coming out to participate in Democratic caucuses and primaries. After discussing the matter with the Wyoming Democratic Party and representatives of the presidential campaigns, we expect that will be the case in Sweetwater County, too.”

The Sweetwater County Democratic Party 2016 County Convention and Caucus will be held on Saturday, April 9th, 2016 at Lincoln Middle School located at 350 Monroe Avenue in Green River, Wyoming. Doors will open at 9 AM and the convention will begin at 11 AM.

“We’re recommending that people arrive early so that we can get everyone through the line and start on schedule. It’s going to be a great event. RSVPs are climbing through the roof and turnout is expected to be very high. People are really excited to come out and support Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton.” – RJ Pieper, Treasurer of the Sweetwater County Democratic Party
