Senator Ron Wyden kicks off new year with Madras town hall, start of seven-county swing
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – Senator Ron Wyden begins his 2024 town hall schedule with seven in-person town halls this week, the first in Madras on Wednesday morning.
The senator was at the Madras Performing Arts Center for his first such gathering of the new year. His other town halls will be in Sherman, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Baker and Malheur counties.
Heading into these initial events of the new year, Wyden has held a total of 1,065 town halls throughout Oregon in fulfillment of his pledge to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.
