Very much enjoyed last night’s #2025townhall in Monmouth with @RepSalinas. We answered questions in an open-to-all setting for Oregonians here in Polk County to share their ideas. Thanks very much to @WesternOregonU for hosting.

I attended a town hall hosted by Attorney General Dan Rayfield in Salem last night. Rep Evans, Senator Patterson, and Rep Andersen were also on the panel. Rayfield and Evans are both alumni and we are proud to see these wolves serving our state! @WesternOregonU @AGDanRayfield
