The Kansas Democratic Party has confirmed U.S. senator from Vermont and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will speak Saturday, Feb. 25, during its 2017 Washington Days event.

Washington Days, the Kansas Democratic Party’s annual convention, will be at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th Ave.

According to the party’s website, the "Bernie Event" will be 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 25. The website says doors will open from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

The website gives multiple options for obtaining a ticket to the event, including signing up for an ongoing monthly commitment to the Blue Kansas Club with a minimum pledge of $10 a month, which will provide members a ticket for Sanders’ speech, or purchasing a $150 general admission ticket that includes one ticket to the Washington Days cocktail hour and luncheon and a ticket to the Sanders program.

The website doesn’t say whether tickets are available solely for the keynote address, and no one from the Democratic Party was immediately available for comment.

According to previous reporting by The Topeka Capital-Journal, public statements by state party officials and other reports have confirmed that Sanders will speak at Topeka High School, 800 S.W. 10th Street, at some time during his visit. It is unclear whether Sanders’ keynote address for Washington Days will be at the school.

Members of the Blue Kansas Club are eligible for a free ticket to see Sanders, and the event’s official Facebook page says an email with instructions on reserving a free ticket is on its way.
