Portland - U.S. Senator Ron Wyden today announced he will hold open-to-all town halls next week in Multnomah and Lane counties.

“It’s more important than ever that our state show the entire country the “Oregon Way” where open-to-all town halls provide everybody the opportunity to exercise their First Amendment rights in a civil fashion with no subject off limits,” Wyden said. “That’s the way I’ve always done town halls in rural, urban and suburban counties throughout Oregon. And I’ll keep holding these meetings in communities large and small for Oregonians to ask me questions and share their views without fear of violence.”
