Questions may be submitted in advance of Facebook live event
Rogue Valley Times staff report
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden will co-host a live online town hall Tuesday night, March 4, with People’s Town Hall during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress.
“In this unprecedented time in American history, my top priority is making sure Oregonians from every corner of our state can keep weighing in directly with me,” Wyden said in a release this past week. The Democrat from Oregon has held 1,105 open-to-all town halls throughout Oregon after promising to hold at least one town hall each year in each of the state’s 36 counties.
“Rather than attend the State of the Union, I’m choosing to hear from residents in the best state of the union. That’s been my priority at more than 1,100 town meetings,” Wyden said. “And there’s no reason to make different choices this Tuesday.”
Since this is Trump’s first address in his second nonconsecutive term, the speech is not classified as a State of the Union.
The online town hall will begin at 6 p.m. and can be watched here on Facebook Live.
Oregonians who want to ask a question during the virtual town hall can submit their questions in advance here.
