Senator Wyden to hold online town hall during President Trump’s address to Congress
WASHINGTON (KTVZ) -- Senator Ron Wyden announced Friday he will co-host a live online town hall Tuesday night with People’s Town Hall to offer all Oregonians the opportunity to ask questions, share their ideas and offer their views during President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress.
“In this unprecedented time in American history, my top priority is making sure Oregonians from every corner of our state can keep weighing in directly with me,” said Wyden, who’s held 1,105 open-to-all town halls throughout Oregon in fulfillment of his promise to hold at least one town hall each year in each of the state’s 36 counties.
“Rather than attend the State of the Union, I’m choosing to hear from residents in the best state of the union. That’s been my priority at more than 1,100 town meetings. And there’s no reason to make different choices this Tuesday.”
The online town hall on Tuesday will begin at 6 pm PT (7 pm MT) and can be watched here on Facebook Live. Oregonians who want to ask a question during the virtual town hall can submit their questions in advance here.
“Senator Wyden has long led the way in town hall accessibility,” said Nathan Williams of People's Town Hall, a town hall series from the founders of Town Hall Project. “At this crucial moment in our democracy, we encourage Oregonians from across the state -- and political spectrum -- to join this conversation with their senior senator."
