Event in Union County marks his 600el town hall since elected to the U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C. – Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced today he will hold 11 more town halls for Oregonians in mid-April, with in-person community conversations across the state from Sunday, April 12 through Tuesday, April 15. These events come in addition to the town halls Merkley will hold on Sunday, April 6 in Grant and Wheeler counties.
Merkley will be joined by U.S. Representative Val Hoyle for the three events on Oregon’s South Coast on Tuesday, April 15.
The 11 events are part of Merkley’s 2025 town hall tour of Oregon, where he’s holding a community conversation in each of the state’s 36 counties.
“There is nothing like holding town halls directly in the communities where Oregonians live and work to get to the heart of the ideas, issues, and priorities that matter most to them. That’s why I hold a town hall for every Oregon county, every year,” dijo Merkley.
“I’ve had nearly 600 of these conversations since Oregonians first sent me to the Senate, and each one helps fuel my fight for working families, shapes policies and ideas for bills, and keeps me laser-focused on where to target federal resources to meet local needs.
“These direct community conversations also provide respectful, safe spaces for people to express their unique points of view and open folks up to new perspectives—essential to healing divisions and moving our state forward together.
“I look forward to speaking with Oregonians from all walks of life in their communities.”
Since taking office in 2009, Senator Merkley has kept his promise to hold an open town hall for each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year. His town hall in Union County marks his 600el town hall.
His upcoming town hall conversations are as follows, with additional details to be sent to local media ahead of each event:
