Greg Walden announced today that he will hold six town halls in April, with meetings in Medford, Grants Pass, Bend, Prineville, Hood River, and The Dalles.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been proud to hold regular town hall meetings in all 20 counties in our vast district. They are another great way for me to update my \u2018to-do\u2019 list to take back to the nation\u2019s capital,\u201d Walden said. \u201cWhile Congress and the country face major issues like growing the economy and fixing the health care system, I\u2019m also working on finding solutions for local problems in our communities. Growing jobs in Oregon, finding common-sense health care solutions, better managing our public lands, and taking care of our veterans remain some of my top priorities.\u201d\nEach year, Walden holds at least one town hall meeting in all 20 counties in the vast Second Congressional District. By April 14, Walden will have held 13 town hall meetings in 2017. He held 27 in 2016 alone and 137 since 2012. At the end of February, a national press analysis found that Walden held more in-person town halls in February than all but two other members of the U.S. House and Senate.\nOregonians who cannot attend Walden\u2019s town hall meetings but would still like to ask questions or provide input are encouraged to visit his website at www.walden.house.gov. There, Oregonians can find Walden\u2019s views on local and regional issues, send him an email to provide input, and sign up for his free, regular newsletter.\u00a0\nSecond District residents can also sign up for telephone town hall meetings through Walden\u2019s website. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten very favorable feedback from people in our district from the telephone town halls. These are especially important for those who have difficulty with transportation. They give people whose voice might not otherwise be heard a chance to weigh in on public policy,\u201d Walden said.\nConstituents can also follow Walden on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to learn more about his work around southern, central, and eastern Oregon.\nWednesday, April 12, 2017\nWhat:\u00a0Wasco County Town Hall Meeting  When:\u00a011:00a.m. - 12:00p.m. PDT  Where:\u00a0Fort Dalles Readiness Center Assembly Hall, 402 E Scenic Drive, The Dalles 97058\nWhat: Hood River County Town Hall Meeting  When: 3:00p.m. - 4:00p.m. PDT  Where: Hood River Middle School Auditorium, 1602 May Street, Hood River 97031\nThursday, April 13, 2017\nWhat:\u00a0Crook County Town Hall Meeting  When:\u00a08:30a.m. - 9:30a.m. PDT\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0  Where:\u00a0Crook County High School Auditorium, 1100 SE Lynn Blvd,\u00a0Prineville\u00a097754\nWhat:\u00a0Deschutes County Town Hall Meeting  When:\u00a05:00p.m. - 6:00p.m. PDT\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\n\tWhere:\u00a0Mountain View High School Main Gym, 2755 NE 27th Street,\u00a0Bend\u00a097701\nFriday, April 14, 2017\nWhat:\u00a0Jackson County Town Hall Meeting  When:\u00a07:30a.m. - 8:30a.m. PDT\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0  Where:\u00a0North Medford High School Performing Arts Auditorium,\u00a01900 N Keene Way Drive, Medford 97504\nWhat:\u00a0Josephine County Town Hall Meeting  When:\u00a010:30a.m. - 11:30a.m. PDT  Where:\u00a0Grants Pass High School Performing Arts Center, 830 NE 9th Street, Grants Pass 97526\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://walden.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/greg-walden-announces-town-halls-around-oregon"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8725738152861595, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
