Here is the current Central Committee membership list for your reference. Please note that new members will be elected at the caucus, so this list is only current until then.

Thank you all again for your time and commitment. We have a big year ahead, and right now we have an opportunity to build capacity and direct our resources inward. Let’s make the most of these caucuses and set ourselves up for success in 2026!
