U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) will be in Hermiston on Friday, Aug. 8 as part of a tour through Eastern Oregon.
Along with Umatilla County, Walden will be visiting Lake, Harney, Grant, Union, and Wallowa counties. Walden will hold town hall meetings in Lakeview, Burns, Mount Vernon and Enterprise as well as a roundtable discussion with the Union County Chamber of Commerce in La Grande.
At the town hall meetings, Walden will give an update on his work in Oregon and Washington, D.C. and take questions from residents.
“These town hall meetings are another way I keep in close touch with the concerns of Oregonians,” he said. “I will answer questions from attendees and give an update on local issues that remain my priorities, including strengthening our rural communities, promoting access to public lands, protecting private water and property rights, and increasing access to quality, affordable health care.”
During his roundtable discussion with the Union County Chamber of Commerce, Walden will discuss growing the economy in rural Oregon communities. Prior to these meetings, Walden will be in central and southern Oregon for a small business seminar with Google, a wildfire roundtable, and a meeting with the technology community.
