Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici will co-host two community conversations
Washington, D.C. – Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced today he will hold six more town halls in February, with in-person community conversations in Tillamook, Clatsop, and Columbia counties on Saturday, February 22, followed by conversations in Polk, Yamhill, and Clackamas counties on Sunday, February 23. U.S. Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici will co-host the town halls in Tillamook and Clatsop counties with Merkley.
The six events continue Merkley’s 2025 town hall tour of Oregon, where he will hold a community conversation in each of the state’s 36 counties.
“There 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’s why I hold a town hall for every Oregon county, every year,” Merkley said. “I’ve had over 580 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.”
“These direct community conversations also provide respectful, safe spaces for people to express their unique points of view and open folks up to new perspectives—essential to healing divisions and moving our state forward together,” Merkley continued. “I am thrilled to be hitting the road again to meet with Oregonians from all walks of life in their communities.”
“Speaking with people in NW Oregon about issues that affect their lives is an important part of my work,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “I invite everyone to attend one of these town hall meetings to hear about the challenges and opportunities in this session of Congress.”
Since taking office in 2009, Senator Merkley has kept his promise to hold an open town hall for each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year. His upcoming town hall conversations are as follows, with additional details to be sent to local media ahead of each event:
