PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., announced Thursday that he will hold open-to-all town halls this month in Polk, Jefferson, Josephine, Benton and Clatsop counties.
Heading into these five town halls from August 14-23, Wyden has held 1,129 open-to-all town halls in keeping his promise to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.
“I’m looking forward to these town halls in communities large and small because hearing my fellow Oregonians’ opinions and answering their questions are a must to do my job in the Senate representing all parts of the state,” Wyden said. “Our country faces unprecedented challenges, and these open-to-all meetings help shape the solutions that Oregonians want for our state and country.”
