PENDLETON — Oregon’s U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley will visit Umatilla County next week, hosting a town hall meeting in Pendleton.<\/p>\n
The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Pendleton Convention Center, West Building, 1601 Westgate.<\/p>\n
He will update constituents on his work in Washington, D.C., and answer questions and invite their suggestions about how to tackle the challenges facing Oregon and America.<\/p>\n
“Hearing from Oregonians across the state is critical to doing my job,” Merkley said. “Whether it’s helping communities recover from flooding, or supporting fuels reduction in wildfire-prone counties, or getting disaster aid for winegrowers and hazelnut orchards in the Willamette Valley, the ideas and priorities I hear about in town halls inform the solutions that I fight to get into federal law. I look forward to these discussions about how we can strengthen our state and our nation.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
