US Senator Jeff Merkley to Hold Jackson & Josephine Town Halls on Sunday

US Senator Jeff Merkley will hold five town hall meetings for Oregonians in March including two in Southern Oregon this coming weekend.

The five events continue Merkley's 2025 town hall tour of Oregon, where he will hold a community conversation in each of the state's 36 counties.

On Sunday, Merkley will hold a Jackson County Town Hall in the main gym at Ashland High School at noon. He will then hold a Josephine County Town Hall at the Rogue Community College gym in Grants Pass at 4 p.m..

Since taking office in 2009, Senator Merkley has kept his promise to hold an open town hall for each of the state's 36 counties every year. He said "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."

Oregonians have been turning out in record-breaking numbers to Merkley's town halls this year. His office works to find the best venues available, but please be advised that chosen venues may reach capacity.
