We would like to thank our wonderful volunteers who persevered through difficulties and to our voters for their patience and willingness to to participate. We would also like to thank Senator Jerry Moran’s campaign team for their incredible support of our Caucus efforts.
These numbers below are initial and subject to change as provisional and advanced ballots are added to the totals, although the delegate count, which is the end product of this process is, unlikely to change – at most one up or down.
