Welcome to the
Riverside Community Caucus Website

To select, nominate, and work for the election of qualified candidates for Village Office. We strive to preserve the Village tradition of stable government - free from special interest and political partisanship. Our members include a broad band of people from all areas of the village, several civic organizations, and retired trustees - we have a mix of ages, interest, and longevity in the village. We seek candidates that are strong leaders, trustworthy, respectful of others, team players, visionary, good backgrounds/experience to lend to the running of the Village government, and are not oriented to a single issue.
