CAUCUS COMMITTEE MEETS IN SIOUX CITY

KEY MEMBERS OF THE IOWA REPUBLICAN PARTY MET IN SIOUX CITY MONDAY AFTERNOON TO REFINE THE PROCESS OF THE IOWA CAUCUSES.

KSCJ IMPACT'S SAM CLOVIS WAS IN THAT MEETING, AND SAYS THE STATE G-O-P WANTS TO MAKE SURE A PROCESS IS IN PLACE TO ACCURATELY DETERMINE A WINNER DURING A CLOSE VOTE:

IN JANUARY'S CAUCUS, MITT ROMNEY WAS ORIGINALLY DECLARED THE WINNER, BUT RICK SANTORUM ENDED UP HAVING THE MOST VOTES.

CLOVIS SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE IOWA KEEPS ITS FIRST IN THE NATION STATUS FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS:

THE CAUCUS RECCOMENDATIONS FROM THE GROUP WILL BE TAKEN TO THE IOWA REPUBLICAN PARTY'S CENTRAL COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION.
