Putnam Republican Party Hosting Caucus For Register Of Deeds

The Putnam County Republican Party will host a caucus this Saturday to select its nominee for Register of Deeds.

Chairman Darren Wilson said John Sanders and Luke Thornton are the two names on the ballot.

“With the passing of longtime Register of Deeds Harold Burris, the Republican Party is holding a caucus in order to select a Republican Candidate to fill that position to be on the November 8th ballot,” Wilson said.

Wilson said bona fide republicans will vote their preference for one of two candidates. Wilson said the winner will receive the backing of the party.

“They must have voted in three of the last four statewide Republican Primaries in order to be eligible to vote in a Republican Caucus,” Wilson said. “The two candidates will have the opportunity to meet the crowd, introduce themselves and mingle beforehand.”

Wilson said doors will open at the Cookeville Performing Arts Center at 9:00 a.m. Wilson said the caucus starts at 10:00 a.m. You can pre-register to vote at putnamgop.com.

“Each Republican voter should have the right to choose their candidate that represents them in the election,” Wilson said. “This caucus narrows it down to one of 2 candidates and we look forward to finding out who that will be Saturday.”

Wilson said it is not often that the party holds a caucus. Wilson said it has been several years.
