Erie County Caucuses are meetings of members of the local Democratic Party. They serve various purposes, including selecting delegates to represent the party at higher levels of the political process, discussing and shaping party platforms, and conducting other party-related business. Caucuses contribute to the overall organization of the Democratic Party at the grassroots level. They help maintain a network of engaged and informed party members who can work together to support Democratic candidates and causes.
