PORT TOWNSEND — State Rep. Melanie Stambaugh, R-Puyallup, will be the guest speaker at the GOP Oktoberfest from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

The Jefferson County Republican Oktoberfest will be at the Boy Scout Cabin, 3075 Discovery Road.

Tickets are $15 for individuals and $30 for couples. To buy in advance, go to www.mkt.com/jefferson-gop. Tickets also will be available at the door.

Bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad and apple pie will be served, but participants must bring their own beer.

Oktoberfest is open to Republican candidates who want to meet with the voters of Jefferson County

Stambaugh, 24, is the youngest Republican ever elected to the state Legislature and the youngest woman elected to the state House of Representatives since 1936, said Steve Crosby, chairman of the county GOP executive board.

In 2014, the Puyallup resident was elected to the state House by defeating a five-term incumbent Democrat for her 25th Legislative District seat.

She serves as the assistant ranking member of the Education Committee and is a member of the Higher Education Committee as well as the Rules Committee.

Stambaugh owns a small business, You Impression, in which she works as a confidence coach.
