Hutchison fundraiser
PORT ANGELES — A fundraising reception for Susan Hutchison, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell in the November general election, is set for 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The reception, hosted by the Clallam County Republican Party, will be at Kokopeli Grill, 203 E. Front St., Port Angeles.
The suggested donation is $100 per person; contributions of any amount are accepted, said organizers.
Other Republicans expected at the reception are County Commissioner Bill Peach; Jim McEntire, who is challenging Democrat Rep. Steve Tharinger, a Democrat, for a Legislative District 24 seat; Jodi Wilke, who is challenging Rep. Mike Chapman, a Democrat, for a Legislative District 26 seat; and Mathhew Rainwater, chairman of the county GOP.
County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Nichols — who is opposed by Selinda Barkhuis, who filed with no party preference — had planned to attend but may not be present because of a scheduling conflict, according to Rainwater.
Rainwater said that Hutchison may be touring Airborne ECS, and possibly other local businesses, prior to the reception.
