Senator Jeff Merkley has announced that he will hold 11 more town halls for Oregonians in mid-April.

A release said Merkley will be joined by Representative Val Hoyle for three of the events on Oregon’s south coast, including the town hall for Douglas County. That event will be held on Tuesday, April 15th at 5:00 p.m. at the main gymnasium of the Reedsport Community Center. Town halls earlier that day will take place in North Bend and Brookings.

Town halls will also be held:

*April 12th in Hermiston, La Grande, and Joseph

*April 13th in Baker City, Ontario, and Burns

*April 14th in Lakeview and Klamath Falls

Merkley said, “There is nothing like holding town halls directly in 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”.

Since taking office in 2009, Senator Merkley has held an open town hall for each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year. His town hall on Saturday in Union County will mark his 600th town hall.
