Bynum Announces Deschutes County Town Hall with Senator Merkley

Washington, DC - Today, Congresswoman Janelle Bynum (OR-05) announced she will be holding a joint, in-person town hall with Senator Jeff Merkley in Deschutes County. It will take place on Saturday, April 5th at Sisters High School and will be open to all. After this town hall, Rep. Bynum will have hosted three town halls in three different counties, reaching constituents from across Oregon's Fifth District. Complete details can be found below.

"I'm excited for my third in-person, open-to-anyone town hall," said Bynum."It's been great hearing from constituents across the district about how they're being impacted in this chaotic time and I'm looking forward to continuing those conversations in Deschutes County next weekend. Every interaction helps me better represent and fight for Oregonians. See you soon!"

"There is nothing like holding town halls directly in the communities where Oregonians live and work to get to the heart of the ideas, issues, and priorities that matter most to them," said Merkley. "That's why I hold a town hall for every Oregon county, every year. I've had nearly 600 of these conversations since Oregonians first sent me to the Senate, and each one helps fuel my fight for working families, shape policies and ideas for bills, and keeps me laser-focused on where to target federal resources to meet local needs. "These direct community conversations also provide respectful, safe spaces for people to express their unique points of view and open folks up to new perspectives-essential to healing divisions and moving our state forward together. I look forward to speaking with Oregonians from all walks of life in their communities."
