When: Sunday, March 15, 1:00 pm PT

Where: Adrienne C. Nelson High School Auditorium, 14897 SE Parklane Dr., Happy Valley, OR 97015

Wyden has held 1,138 open-to-all town halls in keeping his promise to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.

“A new year means new opportunities for all Oregonians to share opinions, ask questions and discuss ideas in open-to-all town halls in community gatherings with their neighbors,” Wyden said. “These face-to-face meetings are always important, and I look forward to these town halls at the start of 2026 to hear Oregonians’ thoughts on priorities for the year ahead in rural, suburban and urban parts of our state.”

For everyone’s security, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed in the town halls. Similar to major sporting events, there is a clear bag policy for town halls, allowing only clear bags (max 12″x6″x12″), one-gallon clear plastic bags, or small clutches (max 4.5″x 6.5″), plus essential items like medical bags or infant necessities, with no storage for disallowed bags. Backpacks and non-clear bags are prohibited, though medical/infant needs have exceptions. Guests will not be allowed inside if they are not complying with these safety regulations. Doors will open one hour before the town hall start time for attendees.

Bonamici will answer questions from attendees and provide an update about her work in Congress. The town hall meetings will be in Hillsboro, Scappoose, Tillamook, and Portland.

“These are very challenging times for many, and it’s important for me to hear from the people I represent,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “Town hall meetings give Oregonians an opportunity to tell me what is on their mind and to hear from me about the work I’m doing. I look forward to meeting with people from across the district and answering their questions.”

Members of Bonamici’s staff will be at the town hall meetings to assist anyone who is experiencing problems with federal agencies, including the VA, Social Security Administration, immigration, and IRS.

Dexter Invites Epstein Survivor to State of the Union in Her Place and Hosts Town Hall for Oregonians.

Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (OR-03) announced that she is inviting Lisa Phillips, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, in her place to attend the State of the Union.

“Accountability is my north star,” said Rep. Dexter. “I’m inviting Lisa Phillips, one of the many brave women who survived Epstein’s abuse, to attend the State of the Union on my behalf. Her presence will send a clear message: Epstein survivors will not be silenced. The powerful will not be protected. Our government will be accountable to the people it serves. While Trump stands before the country and attempts to rewrite history, I will be talking with Oregonians about how we build a government that serves people, not the powerful.”

“I am deeply grateful to Representative Dexter for this honor. I sit in this seat not for myself, but for the girls who were never given a voice — and for the accountability they deserve,” said Lisa Phillips.

This month, President Trump urged the country to move on from the Epstein files. However, the administration continues to illegally redact and withhold files, protecting identities of powerful people and predators, while disclosing photos, names, and private information of survivors.

Rep. Dexter is a proud co-sponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act and helped force the vote to require the administration to release the files.

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) will hold a town hall meeting virtually by phone during the State of the Union, which is expected to take place at 6 p.m. on Feb. 24. She will be joined by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield.

“This is a critical time for Oregonians to come together and discuss how federal policies are affecting their lives,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “The Trump administration’s aggressive tactics and policies are making life more expensive, unpredictable, and dangerous for people across the state. These town hall meetings will be opportunities  for Oregonians to come together during these challenging times to express their concerns and share their ideas.”

Wyden, Merkley Won’t Attend State of The Union, Will Instead Hold Virtual Town Hall for Oregonians on February 24

The Fate of The Union: Senators to co-host virtual town hall the same day as the State of the Union to answer Oregonians’ questions about protecting the Constitution and resisting Donald Trump’s assaults on the Bill of Rights.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley today announced they will not attend the State of the Union speech on Tuesday, February 24 and will instead co-host a live on-line town hall that day with People’s Town Hall to offer all Oregonians the opportunity to ask questions as well as share their ideas and viewpoints.

“Sitting through Donald Trump’s unhinged ramblings about his unconstitutional schemes does nothing to help Oregonians justifiably concerned about his attacks on the economy and the law as well as his desperate diversions from the Epstein investigation,” Wyden said. “Rather than hearing a so-called State of the Union from a self-absorbed liar, I’ll hear the truth from my fellow Oregonians in the best state of the union.”

“After a year in office, Trump has made America poorer and sicker,” said Merkley. “We know Trump says one thing but then does another. He ran for president promising to help working people, but in office he’s only helped the rich and powerful. Trump is putting up red tape for families and rolling out the red carpet for billionaires. Every day of the week, I’ll choose to boycott the wannabe dictator and connect with Oregonians.”

The on-line town hall on Tuesday, February 24 will begin at 2:30 pm PT (3:30 pm MT) and can be watched here on YouTube. Oregonians who want to ask a question during the virtual town hall can submit their questions in advance here.

“Direct dialogue with our leaders is a cornerstone of our democracy, and it’s never been more important for our elected representatives to listen to the people they work for: their constituents,” said Nathan Williams of People’s Town Hall, a town hall series from the founders of Town Hall Project. “People’s Town Hall is proud to host this important conversation with Senators Wyden and Merkley and their fellow Oregonians.”

Both Senator Wyden and Senator Merkley hold a town hall in each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year.
