Bob Esvelt

Stevens County chair, small county in a single LD.
District has been firebombed by Rpub propaganda and people tend to blindly vote R.
Doesn't charge dues like other places but do have a suggested donation. An annual fundraising dinner and a picnic. Prizes tend to be things like a shotgun.
Runs a set of committees. Routine.
Caucuses can be one of the best party-building tools. It's a reason to get people out and engaged and self-identified with the party.
Public relations: All parades, fair booths.
Community Services:
Scholarship Contest
Candidate Committee: Invites new people by telling them that if they choose to run the party will support them. Eventually someone will take up the offer.
Suggestion from the floor: In EW, the major press outlets are R-controlled. Party org should mount an assault on lack of of fairness.
