Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden has postponed town halls planned in Hood River and The Dalles next week due to a change in the House of Representatives calendar. In announcing the postponements, Walden’s office indicated the House is now scheduled to be in session beginning Tuesday, January 22, so the Hood River Republican will need to be present in Washington, D.C. for votes in the House. The House was scheduled to be out of session the week of January 21 when Walden first announced his town hall schedule for January. Walden’s office says town halls that were scheduled for Hood River, Wasco, and other counties will be rescheduled for later dates.
