After months of hearing from candidates for President of the United States, you will finally see voters put pen to paper to support them. It all begins on Monday when voters in Iowa head to hundreds of sites across the state to host their respective caucuses. Candidates have been crisscrossing the state recently, with Republicans Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and  Vivek Ramaswamy holding events to court voters. Other candidates have dropped out over the last few months, most recently Chris Christie earlier this week. Unlike primary elections in states like Wisconsin, Republicans attending the evening caucuses in Iowa can lay out their cases for their chosen candidate before awarding delegates. Door County Republican Party Chairperson Stephanie Soucek says she is interested in seeing where the support of the candidates who dropped out will go and how this sets the stage for other upcoming Republican primaries in New Hampshire (1/23) and South Carolina (2/24) and caucuses in Nevada (2/8), Idaho (3/2) and Missouri (3/2).

Republicans in Door County will host its own caucus event on February 10th to choose their delegates for the upcoming district and state conventions and hear from 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel. Democrats in Iowa will also caucus beginning on Monday, but they will submit their preference via a mail-in ballot, with the results coming out in early March.
