Wyden plans three C. Oregon town halls next week

(Updating to correct days of week for Prineville, Madras events)

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., will hold town halls next week in Sisters, Prineville and Madras, his office announced Tuesday.

In fulfillment of Wyden’s pledge to hold annual town halls in each of Oregon’s 36 counties, these upcoming public community meetings will increase to 797 the number of town halls he has held since his election to the Senate in 1996.

“It’s clear from my first town halls of 2017 so far that Oregonians are coming out in record numbers with real concerns,” Wyden said. “I look forward to continuing the conversation in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties about how to preserve and protect the Oregon way focusing on solutions.”
