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

Because real change in Washington D.C. begins in Oregon, Jeff will travel to 100 towns across the state.

From Lincoln City to Baker City, from Milwaukie to Medford, Merkley will travel across Oregon visiting schools, health clinics, factories, and businesses to talk about his plans to create quality jobs; establish universal health care; and make college and technical schools affordable for all families.

Please share your ideas about where Jeff should go over the next few months. Does your town have a great burger joint? Is there a festival or parade that Jeff should visit? Let us know by posting a comment!
