Voters react as Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Janelle Bynum hold townhall in Sisters

SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) -- For over an hour and a half, Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Janelle Bynum took questions from members of the community on Saturday.

They were answering questions on both foreign and domestic policy.

Both Sen. Wyden and Rep. Bynum took about 12 questions together, giving insight into how they voted on recent issues and what they think about current events.

The gymnasium was packed with residents from all across Deschutes County hoping to get their questions answered.

So I asked a few of them what they are hoping to hear about.

Randy Jones, a resident of Bend, told KTVZ News, "When will we see a step by achievable step of a plan that's going to reverse the depredation, cruelty, and destruction of our system of compassionate governance?"

"Hopefully, we get some answers about trying to get rid of this clown that's leading us astray," Gary Mason, a resident of Sisters, told KTVZ News.

We are now about 10 months away from the midterm elections.

While legislators in Washington focus on issues such as what is happening in Iran, I asked potential voters what they are following as we get closer to the upcoming elections.

Bend Resident Robin Werdal told KTVZ News, "The total violence that is being perpetrated on citizens and immigrants in this country by ICE."

"I think we need to overturn the Congress in the House and hopefully the Senate," Sisters Resident Rob Phelps told KTVZ News. "Who's going to pay for it? Purse strings are controlled by the House of Representatives."
