Merkley to Hold Lane and Benton County Town Halls

Portland – Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley will hold town halls in Lane and Benton counties on Saturday, March 21.

 

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 residents of Lane and Benton counties 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 last month in his native county, Douglas County.  Lane and Benton counties will be his fifth and sixth town halls.
