WASHINGTON, DC--U.S. Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-Springfield) will visit the coast on Tuesday, April 14th to hold three town hall meetings.  The House of Representatives recently adjourned for the April district work period and DeFazio has visits scheduled throughout the 4th Congressional District.

DeFazio plans to discuss recent congressional efforts to address the current economic crisis, the upcoming transportation reauthorization, recent passage of the public lands omnibus – legislation expanding wilderness protections in Oregon – and Mexico’s retaliatory tariffs, among other issues of interest. 
The meetings will give DeFazio an opportunity to hear concerns and answer questions about federal issues.
