Washington, D.C. \u2013 Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced today he will be holding three, in-person town halls on Friday, August 2 for folks in Lincoln, Lane, and Clackamas counties. The events continue Merkley\u2019s 2024 town hall tour of Oregon, where he is holding a community conversation for each of the state\u2019s 36 counties. <\/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,\u201d\u202fMerkley said.\u202f\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver the course of the more than 570 town halls 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
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am thrilled\u202fto be hitting the road again to meet with Oregonians from all walks of life in their communities.\u201d\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
