PORT TOWNSEND — U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-Gig Harbor) and state Rep. Steve Tharinger (D-Dungeness) will be the featured speakers at the Jefferson County Democrats’ 12th annual fish feast Sunday.
The feast will begin at 4 p.m. in the Oskar Erickson Building at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 4907 Landes St.
Tickets cost $45 and are available at www.jeffcodemocrats.com or at the event.
Kilmer, a Democrat from Gig Harbor, represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes the North Olympic Peninsula.
Tharinger, a Democrat from Sequim, represents the 24th Legislative District, which covers Jefferson and Clallam counties and part of Grays Harbor County.
The annual feast is a fundraiser for the Jefferson County Democrats, who use the proceeds to support candidates and programs.
About 400 people generally attend the event, which features salmon barbecued by Larry Dennison, shellfish from Taylor Shellfish, bread from Pane D’Amore, beer from Port Townsend Brewery, coffee from Sunrise Coffee, cake and salad.
The party’s “bean poll,” which states a preference for presidential candidates and began at the Jefferson County Fair, will continue, in which participants place a bean in a jar that corresponds to their choice.
At the Jefferson Fair, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was a clear favorite with 57 percent, followed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with 27 percent and 8 percent each for Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and Vice President Joe Biden, who is not a declared candidate.
