Washington, D.C. \u2013\u202fOregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley\u202fannounced today his first in-person\u202ftown\u202fhalls\u202fof the new year will be held in Linn and Benton counties on Tuesday, February 13 and in Washington and Columbia counties on Wednesday, February 14. The four events will kick start Merkley\u2019s 2024\u202ftown\u202fhall\u202ftour of Oregon, where he\u202fwill hold community conversations for each of the state\u2019s 36 counties.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI hold a\u202ftown\u202fhall\u202ffor every Oregon county, every year because there is simply no substitute to hearing directly from folks about the ideas and priorities that matter most to them and their communities. Oregonians\u2019 thoughts help shape my work in Congress, including positions on policies, ideas for bills, and strategies for securing resources for every corner of our state,\u201ddijo Merkley.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver the course of the more than 540\u202ftown\u202fhalls I\u2019ve held since Oregonians sent me to the Senate, I\u2019ve seen how these events provide respectful, safe spaces for people to express their unique points of view during these often-divisive times. We all benefit significantly when we leave our comfort zone and open ourselves up to new ways of looking at issues\u2014me included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am thrilled to hit the road to meet with Oregonians from all walks of life in their communities.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Since taking office in 2009, Senator Merkley has kept his promise to hold an open\u202ftown\u202fhall\u202ffor each of Oregon\u2019s 36 counties every year. His upcoming\u202ftown\u202fhall\u202fconversations are as follows, with additional details to be sent to local media ahead of the event: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
