Las Animas County GOP Caucus March 7 to Choose Precinct Chairs, Delegates

The Las Animas County Republican Party posted an event notice announcing a county caucus for Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and the notice was published to the World Journal’s events listings and regional calendars on Feb. 2. The posting gives date and time but does not include a meeting location or contact details in the event text.

That notice follows a World Journal account of prior precinct activity in which the Las Animas County Republican Central Committee, identified in that article as LACRCC, held precinct caucuses on Tuesday, March 6 as part of the 2018 election cycle. The World Journal account says those March 6 precinct caucuses covered the county’s 16 precincts and, in that year, produced the following results: "With over 100 voters attending county wide, they nominated 80 delegates to the county assembly and filled 25 of the central committee’s 32 precinct co-chair positions."

The World Journal text also connects the 2018 precinct caucuses to a subsequent county assembly date: "The caucuses kicked off the 2018 election cycle and were used to select the party’s delegates to the Republican Party county assembly that will be held on Saturday, March 24 at 9 am at the Hoehne High School." The World Journal article states that precinct co-chairs appointed at those caucuses "will represent them for the next two years on the county’s Republican central committee."

The World Journal included on-the-record observations from LACRCC Secretary Troy Walker about turnout and organization in the 2018 cycle. "LACRCC Secretary Troy Walker noted that while voter turnout is generally lower in non-presidential election years, the precincts that had the best 'Get out the vote' efforts had the best overall results." The article also recorded Walker's outlook: "Walker stated he is hopeful that a continued push towards 'grassroots' political involvement will result in better representation of the concerns of rural Colorado voters in this fall's general election."

The two pieces use different organizational labels: the event notice identifies the Las Animas County Republican Party and abbreviates it LACGOP, while the World Journal article refers to the Las Animas County Republican Central Committee, abbreviated LACRCC. The sources do not state whether those labels refer to the same body.

The posted March 7, 2026 notice gives county Republicans a clear date and time to plan around, but key logistical details remain absent from the public notice. Residents seeking clarity should consult the World Journal events listing where the notice was posted on Feb. 2 or contact local party officials for the meeting location and an agenda. If the county follows past practice described in the World Journal’s account of the 2018 cycle, precinct-level meetings have been used to nominate delegates and appoint precinct co-chairs who serve on the county central committee.
