100 Towns - July 1st through July 6th

In towns across Oregon, families are ready to change the direction of America by changing the priorities in Washington D.C. and putting Oregonians before the powerful special interests.

Because real change in Washington D.C. begins in Oregon, House Speaker Jeff Merkley, candidate for U.S. Senate, will travel to 100 towns across the state. Starting in the timber town where he was born, Merkley will meet with hardworking families struggling to pay the bills, workers worried about their jobs being outsourced overseas, and business owners squeezed by skyrocketing health care costs.

All events are open to the public
