Walkowski will speak at 6 p.m. during the Democrats’ general membership meeting in the Tri-Area Community Center, 10 West Valley Road, Chimacum.

The party’s business meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Walkowski also will discuss the fire district’s mission, services and service area and take part in a question-and-answer session.
