Seismic Shift at Republican Caucuses a Surprise

The seismic shift was in some measure brought about by the Greenwich Patriots, who showed up in large numbers to elect well-organized slates. This year’s caucuses drew over a hundred people in some districts which previously saw just fifteen or twenty participants even as many who wanted to participate said they could not due to COVID concerns or quarantines. All registered members of the Republican Party were eligible to vote in their district.

One of the biggest shifts came in District 8 where Carl Higbie chaired the caucus although he did not run for a seat. Higbie, a former Trump adviser and Navy SEAL said, “This is the mark of a new party, we welcome the folks we voted out to work with us, but the new direction of this party is a conservative agenda. We want government control out of your wallet, out of your bedroom and off your face. We want our schools to be the best and our taxes to be low. That is the new reality of Greenwich Republicans.”
