Former U.S. Congressman Richard Stallings will headline the annual Clint and Michelle Stennett Social and Fundraiser next week.

The Party with a Purpose—billed as an evening of inspiration, connection and action--will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 3, at The Limelight Hotel in Ketchum.

Joining Stallings will be Kaylee Peterson, Idaho candidate for U.S. Congress; Ron Taylor, Idaho State Senator for District 26, and Dakota Sharette, executive director of the Idaho Democratic Party.

Attendees will get to nosh on small bites as they listen to guests share stories and strategies to reignite optimism and energize grassroots efforts heading into the 2025 and 2026 elections.

“This event isn’t just about great speeches and good food—it’s a launchpad for action,” said Deborah Silver, chair of Blaine County Democrats. “Every ticket purchased, every idea sparked and every connection made fuels the movement for inclusion, justice, and opportunity across Idaho.”
