House Democratic Leadership Team on the Road to Central, Eastern and Southern Oregon

House Democratic Leader Jeff Merkley and members of the Democratic leadership team will be on the road from December 1 to December 15 to hold open forums in communities throughout the state that have had Republican representation for far too long.

The meetings will include an overview of the 2005 legislative session, followed by a question and answer period and open discussion. Information will be provided on how people can become directly involved in our effort to become the majority party in the House in 2006 and to continue to build for the future statewide.

The forums are being hosted by the county Democratic parties, and are open to all members of the public. The schedule:
