Merkley slates June 20 Town Hall in Grand Ronde

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley will hold a Town Hall at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 20, at the Tribal Community Center, 9615 Grand Ronde Road.

He will update constituents on his work in Washington, D.C., and answer questions and invite suggestions about how to tackle the challenges facing Oregon and the United States.

“There are huge issues facing Oregonians and the best way for me to effectively advocate for Oregon’s families and businesses is by getting out on the road and holding a town hall in every county, every year to hear directly from Oregonians,” he said. “I invite all residents of Polk County to come and discuss what we need to do to strengthen our state and union.”

Since joining the Senate in 2009, Merkley has held a town hall in each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year. Polk County’s will be his 243rd.

Earlier in the day, he also will hold a Town Hall at 1 p.m. at the Port of Tillamook Bay Officers Mess Hall, 6825 Officers Row, in Tillamook.
