“Your Vote, Your Future” Candidates Forum Invites All Generations to the Table

By Dean Myerson

The Dalles, Ore., Nov. 4, 2025 — Politics isn’t just for pundits or retirees. It’s for everyone with a stake in the future—and that means you.

On November 9, 2025, at 1 p.m., the Wasco County Democrats will host a Candidates Forum featuring candidates running for the Democratic nomination for the Oregon Congressional seat currently held by Cliff Bentz. But this isn’t your typical town hall. This is a space for real questions, real answers, and real impact—especially for all voters.

“We’re inviting the next generation of voters to show up and shape the conversation,” says Dean Myerson, Wasco Democrats Treasurer and one of the event organizers. “Whether you care about housing, climate, education, or jobs—this is your chance to ask the people who want your vote what they’re going to do about it.”

The event will feature:

  • Live Q&A with candidates from around our District

  • Candidates Meet and Greet

  • Light refreshments and a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere

All ages welcome. No RSVP required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe a friend or two.

Location: Mid-Columbia Senior Center
Date/Time: 1 p.m., Sunday, November 9, 2025
Admission: Free
