MEDIA ADVISORY: Portland Metro Chamber to Host Town Hall with Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (D-OR 3) on Impacts of Trump Administration Tariffs on Small Business 

In partnership with Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (D-OR 3), the Portland Metro Chamber will host a town hall on Wednesday, July 30th to hear directly from local businesses about the impacts of the Trump Administration’s tarrifs policy. Local businesses are invited to share specific examples of disrupted supply chains, impacted shipping costs, availability of products and raw materials, and impacts on customers. 

This event will provide an opportunity to hear from Portland small businesses about their responses to massive disruptions brought on by the Trump Administration tariffs. The 2025 State of Oregon Trade Report, published by the Chamber and our partners this year, showed that Oregon continues to be one of the most dependent states on international trade, making this a critical discussion for the local business community.
