caucus-goer
Party meeting attendee
A caucus-goer is someone who attends a political caucus—a local meeting where party members gather to select candidates or delegates.
The term appears most often during U.S. presidential primary season: Iowa caucus-goers braved subzero temperatures to cast their votes.
Unlike primary voters who simply show up and vote, caucus-goers commit to longer, more participatory meetings.
