Photos and Story by

United States Senator Ron Wyden will host a town hall at PCC’s Newberg Center (135 Werth Blvd.) from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 4.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden addresses a group at the Ontario town hall.

Representing the college at the town hall will be District President Preston Pulliams; Sylvania Campus President Linda Gerber; Board Chair Jim Harper; and Board Member Gene Pitts.

When elected to the U.S. Senate, Wyden pledged to hold at least one public town meeting in each of Oregon’s 36 counties each year. Keeping that promise since 1996, Sen. Wyden has held more than 609 town hall meetings across the state. These meetings are non-partisan gatherings open to anyone who is interested in discussing issues important to the local community or pending federal legislation.

All are welcome to attend. For questions, contact Kate Chester, Sylvania Campus community relations manager, at kate.chester@pcc.edu.
