See you at Symposium (and a podcast recommendation)
Oregon State Legislature sent this bulletin at 09/05/2024 09:12 AM PDT
Dear friends and neighbors,
I hope you're doing well! Just a quick reminder about our upcoming Town Hall on Saturday, September 14th, at 11:00 AM at Symposium Coffee. You might have received a flier that mentioned "Sunday," but that’s a typo. It's actually Saturday the 14th. Sorry for the mix-up!
This is a great opportunity for us to catch up and talk about some important issues in our community. I’ll be sharing what’s happening in the legislature and what items are on the agenda for 2025. But I’m also interested to hear what’s on your mind. Your concerns and ideas directly shape my priorities and the direction we take in the legislature.
I'm also excited to share that Tigard City Council President Yi-Kang Hu and Councilor Maureen Wolf will be joining us. They’ll bring their insights on what’s happening locally, which I hope will make for an interesting discussion.
Whether you’ve got questions, comments, or just want to listen in, I’d love to see you there.
One more thing–If you aren’t able to make it, or if you love podcasts, check out my conversation on the Talking Tigard podcast with Kent Wyatt, the City of Tigard’s Communications Manager. We covered a lot of ground (my job as Majority Leader, how my former boss, Rep. Margaret Doherty, influence me, how my spoiled dogs are doing, and some policy items).
This will be my final newsletter communication prior to the legislative “blackout period” (until after the election). Looking forward to a great conversation on the 14th!

Oregon State Representative
