January 3rd is the date for the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. The Iowa GOP finalized the date after several states shifted their primary contests. Irene Blom, Chair of the Marion County GOP says with the date now set, they can begin work locally preparing for the caucuses. One caucus location has been set at Pella Christian High School with a second location still to be determined. If you’d like to help with organizing for the caucuses, contact Irene at 780-1057.
