Washington, D.C. \u2013 Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced today he will hold five town halls the first weekend in February, with in-person community conversations in Lincoln, Benton, and Linn counties on Saturday, February 1, followed by conversations in Lane and Marion counties on Sunday, February 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley will be joined by U.S. Representative Val Hoyle for the town halls in Lincoln and Benton counties, and Representative Andrea Salinas will join the community conversation in Marion County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five events continue Merkley\u2019s 2025 town hall tour of Oregon, where he will hold a community conversation in each of the state\u2019s 36 counties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThere 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\u2019s why I hold a town hall for every Oregon county, every year,\u201d dijo Merkley.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had over 570 of these conversations since Oregonians first sent me to the Senate, and each one helps fuel my fight for working families, shape policies and ideas for bills, and keeps me laser-focused on where to target federal resources to meet local needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese direct community conversations also provide respectful, safe spaces for people to express their unique points of view and open folks up to new perspectives\u2014essential to healing divisions and moving our state forward together.<\/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
