BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley announced Friday he will continue his town halls with in-person community conversations in Klamath and Lake counties on Friday, March 20, followed by conversations in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties on Saturday, March 21. 

The five events continue Merkley’s 2026 town hall tour of Oregon, where he will hold a community conversation in each of the state’s 36 counties. 

  “I’m looking forward to again visiting wonderful communities all over our state. By talking directly to folks in each county, my team and I can go to work for the interests and needs most important in each corner of our state,” Merkley said.
