Five Town Halls are Saturday, June 27 through Monday, June 29.

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Portland – Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley will hold town halls in Multnomah, Clackamas, Polk, Linn and Marion counties in late June.

He will update constituents on his work in Washington, DC and answer their questions about the challenges facing Oregon and America.

“Advocating for Oregonians is my number one responsibility,” Merkley said. “I invite all Oregonians to meet me and discuss what we need to do to get our nation back on track.”

Last year, Merkley pledged to hold town halls in each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year.  He held his first town hall in his native county, Douglas County. Multnomah, Clackamas, Polk, Linn and Marion counties will be his sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth town halls.
