Last night, Nick was honored to introduce Senator Wyden at his 950^th town hall.

Senator Wyden holds at least one town hall in each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year. The event was held at Portland Parks & Recreation’s East Portland Community Center.

Special thanks to: Senator Wyden for his leadership on privacy issues, healthcare, older adults, and so much more; State Senator Shemia Fagan and her son for moderating; and the hard-working Portland Parks & Recreation staff for hosting the event.
