Latinas care about personal freedom.
Just like everyone else, we want the ability to make health care decisions without extreme politicians telling us what to do with our bodies.
I’ll always fight to protect that right and all our freedoms as Americans.
As the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, I know change is possible in a single generation -- but only if we work for it. I am ready to get to work on behalf of

. Thank you for electing me to be your champion.
My full statement:
Thank you to every single person who made this victory possible tonight! I am ready to win this seat in November & work to expand access to abortion care, tackle the climate crisis, & lower the cost of prescription drugs. Join me:
My heart breaks for Bend – and for every community torn apart by senseless gun violence.
This weekend I joined
@MomsDemand
to get the word out about the important work that must be done to put an end to this madness.
Oregonians shouldn't have to live in fear.
Good afternoon, Oregon! Here's a quick update from Team Salinas:
Ballots are still being counted across the sixth district – but I'm confident that once final numbers come in, we will come out on top.
We put in the work. And now we wait.
#OR06
Late last night, I took the congressional oath of office. And as I stood in our gorgeous Capitol, saying those awe-inspiring words, I thought of YOU — the amazing members of Team Salinas who made this moment possible.
Thank you,

After six failed votes, I am just about sick to death of hearing Republicans preach about the need to “get things done.”
Yeah, no kidding!
So let’s do it. I’ll show up at 8pm to do my part — here’s hoping they do the same.
Sending my best wishes to
@TinaKotek
as she officially becomes Oregon’s 39th governor!
I look forward to working with her on the issues that matter most to Oregonians, from housing to safety and everything in between.
So let me get this straight. The economic plan being offered by some Republicans is:
- A 30% sales tax on everything
- Cuts to Social Security and Medicare
- And gutting food assistance programs like SNAP
Uh… no thanks!
My first vote on the House floor was the same as my second which was the same as my third and fourth and now my eighth.
I voted for
@RepJeffries
to be Speaker of the House. He’d be a fantastic Speaker. And he’s got the whole caucus behind him.
Unlike someone else I know.
Out of touch MAGA multimillionaires like my opponent want to gut your Social Security and Medicare. They've made that crystal clear in the last few days.
I'm not going to let that happen. I've got your back,
#OR06
.
Jim Jordan is the lead sponsor of a bill that would ban abortion nationwide.
We need a responsible leader in the Speaker’s chair—not a MAGA extremist who is hell bent on taking away our reproductive freedoms.
Team Salinas was out bright & early this morning knocking on doors in

@AdamSchiff
for getting Team Salinas fired up to get out the vote & do everything we can to win
#OR06
! We know there's so much on the line, and we are so grateful for your leadership in Congress. Let's do this!
Kevin McCarthy just let the cat out of the bag: If Republicans take control of the House, they're coming after your Social Security and Medicare.
No wonder he's pouring thousands of dollars into
#OR06
– he knows he can count on my opponent to fall in line.
I've officially filed with the Oregon Secretary of State for reelection in 2024. I'm excited to continue serving the people of Oregon's Sixth District and fight for better health care, a cleaner environment, and an economy that works for everyone. Let's win big in 2024!
My dad taught me that through hard work & determination, anything is possible.
As an immigrant, field-worker, and Vietnam veteran, he never had it easy – but he was still able to climb his way up to the middle class.
I’m fighting to ensure every family has that same chance.👇
I had such a great time knocking on doors with my family this weekend!
They're the reason I do what I do.
And when I'm in Congress, I'll fight for your family just as hard as I would my own.
#OR06
I have exciting news, friends: I'm running for Congress in Oregon's new Sixth District! I'm going to ask you to donate, but let me introduce myself too.

My opponent recently said he doesn't "agree with" the right to choose in Oregon. But he sure didn't mind it when it benefitted him.
I will always protect reproductive freedom. We're not going to let the Herschel Walker of Oregon take that from us.

@symonemsnbc
I'm the daughter of a police officer. I know what it’s like to worry if your loved one will come home safely. So Mike Erickson's lies about my record on policing aren't just dishonest – they're deeply offensive.
Glad CNN could set the record straight.
My thoughts are with Paul Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, and their family in this frightening time. I’m wishing him a speedy, full recovery.
Political violence is an evil that every leader — no matter what party they belong to — must denounce. We are better than this.
Spent the morning in Tualatin with
@MomsDemand

I have put out the following statement along with five other Democratic candidates in the OR-06 race in response to House Majority PAC’s nearly $1 million ad buy. We are united in our condemnation of this unprecedented and inappropriate attempt to influence Oregon voters.

My extreme opponent just dumped $300K into this race after already giving himself $1.3M+.
I’m a policymaker, a working mom, & the daughter of an immigrant.
If you’re SICK of anti-choice multimillionaires calling the shots, can you chip in $10?

As a first generation Latina, and the daughter of a long line of farmworkers on both sides of my family, I was proud to champion and co-carry the Farmworker Overtime bill this morning. On to the Senate!

Wow. Republicans in Congress just announced a bill to BAN abortion nationwide.
They don’t have the votes for it — yet. But if they take Congress, they will.
That’s why it’s so important that we send my extreme anti-choice opponent packing. He’s too dangerous for Oregon women.
I know what Oregon families are facing these days. That's why I'm committed to:
✅ Bringing down the high cost of living
✅ Delivering resources to law enforcement
✅ Tackling the homelessness crisis head on
In Congress, I'll fight for a stronger Oregon for all of us.

Happy birthday, Oregon! It’s right that we celebrate our state on a day that’s all about love — because there’s so much to love about Oregon, from its stunning natural beauty to its rich history.
What’s your favorite thing about Oregon?
I am so proud to see Oregon listed as the

Republicans like my anti-choice opponent claim they're for leaving the issue of abortion to the states.
I'm calling B.S.
The national ban that came out just yesterday proves that Republicans won't be satisfied until women have no choice in the matter. That's their endgame.
A HUGE THANK YOU to
@JoeNeguse
for getting our door-knockers fired up this morning at 9 am in Tualatin! We are so grateful you came out to Oregon to help us get out the vote. Everyone was so inspired by you! Together, we can win.
#OR06
Wow. My team just told me we raised more than $500,000 in a little over TWO WEEKS. The average donation was $49!
We're up against a MAGA multimillionaire who has spent more than $1.3 million of his own money to buy this seat.
Can you help us fight back?
Mike Johnson is an election denier who wants to criminalize abortion nationwide.
He’s just like Jim Jordan, only without the name recognition.
We can’t have a MAGA extremist as Speaker of the House. It’s as simple as that.
My opponent is hoping you don't remember how he used to promote Trumpian election fraud conspiracies on his website. He's also hoping you'll forget he threatened to overturn this election.
He has no regard for truth – or for our democracy.
When Trump looked to dismantle access to abortion, I helped Oregon pass the strongest reproductive rights law in the country. Now, I am the only candidate in the
#OR06
race endorsed by

✅ Expanded access to abortion care
✅ Held Big Pharma accountable
✅ Increased the minimum wage
If elected, I'd be the first Latina to represent OR in Congress. Will you join my team?
We narrowly avoided a government shutdown today, but it's clear that the Republican majority is a disaster. Taking back the House in 2024 starts with holding OR-06. Can I count on you to chip in before midnight tonight?

It was great to chat with
@TeenVogue
about the importance of this race.
My opponent is a dangerous anti-choice extremist who wants to restrict the right to choose in Oregon. We can't lose sight of what's at stake in
#OR06
. 👇
👋 I'm Andrea Salinas. I'm running for Congress to protect and expand access to abortion care. My opponent is an anti-choice extremist.
These are the stakes, and I'm not backing down.
Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy came to Oregon to stump for Republican candidates running for Congress. The battle for control of Congress may very well come down to three competitive races in Oregon.
Mifepristone is safe and effective. Full stop. Attempts to limit access to mifepristone is a direct attack on women's reproductive healthcare and just another step to banning abortion nationwide.
It’s not every day you drop off your only child at college.
Amelia, we are so proud of you. As hard as it is to say goodbye, I cannot wait to see you shine. Go out there and change the world! ⭐️
The GOP’s inability to govern is not only embarrassing—it’s shameful.
But this is what a Republican majority looks like.
We need to get back to work for the American people.
And then we need to take back the House in 2024.
As a Member of Congress, I spend a lot of time flying back and forth from DC to Oregon.
I’m so grateful for the work flight attendants do to keep passengers safe.
And I’m proud to stand with
@APFAunity
in their fight for better wages and conditions.
#FlightAttendantsFightBack
125 Republicans sponsored a bill that would ban IVF nationwide.
IVF is an important resource to anyone with fertility issues. Restricting it would be devastating. Everyone deserves the right to start a family.
You've probably seen the ridiculous attack ad my opponent is running claiming I support tolling along the I-5.
Unsurprisingly for Erickson, that claim is utter nonsense. I actually signed a letter opposing a tolling plan along I-205 in March.
Listen to Pat Dooris break it down:
Turns out people don’t like when politicians take away their fundamental rights.
But no amount of spin will ever change the fact that the Republican Party is now and forever the party that championed abortion bans even for victims of rape or incest.
I ran for Congress to lower costs, fight the substance use crisis, & improve public safety in our communities — not to get sucked into a baseless impeachment inquiry.
If only this Majority cared as much about delivering for the American people as they do pleasing Donald Trump.
Indigenous people make up an irreplaceable pillar of our community here in Oregon's Sixth – so today and every day, let's honor their history and uplift their stories.
Wishing you all a meaningful

As the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, I’m so proud of my Latino culture and heritage.
And when I’m in Congress, I’ll never lose sight of the values, stories, and traditions that made me who I am today.
It’s officially one year until Election Day—and MAGA extremists are already lining up to challenge me.

And as I told
@symonemsnbc

Three years ago we witnessed an unprecedented attack on our Nation’s Capitol.
I’ll always fight to protect and defend our democracy. Because we can’t allow something like January 6th to ever happen again.

They recognize that I’m the only one in this race with the "temperament, experience and vision" necessary to deliver results for our community.
Now let's go win this thing!

@PODERPAC
, who is dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic Latinas, has endorsed me in my race to represent
#OR06
! As a member of Congress, I intend to protect and advance reproductive health care, including enshrining the right to choose into law.
Another anti-abortion effort goes down in flames, this time in Ohio.
Republicans keep learning the hard way that they’re out of step with the vast majority of Americans.
We’ll show them again in 2024.
The average cash price for 20 tablets of Xarelto, a lifesaving blood thinner?
🇫🇷 $23.29
🇦🇺 $28.09
🇨🇦 $85.44
🇺🇸 $558.33
But now, Xarelto could be subject to Medicare price negotiations thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act — a bill every single Republican voted against.
I'm thrilled to announce that I've been endorsed by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici in my race to represent
#OR06
! She has fought tirelessly for the people of Washington & Yamhill Counties. I'm honored to have earned her confidence & support in my campaign to represent these communities.
If you know me, you know this: I’m an unapologetic fighter for abortion access. That’s why I’m excited to release my second TV ad featuring my work to help pass one of the strongest reproductive rights laws in the country.
Take a look👇
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this emergency care ban, it will give extreme politicians the ability to control whether women live or die. Literally.
They were never going to stop with Roe.
Let’s vote them out and protect access to lifesaving health care across America.
Conservative Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical Wednesday that state abortion bans after their sweeping ruling overturning Roe v. Wade violate federal healthcare law.
INDEED it is a dark day when the Speaker of the House can’t stand up for truth and justice. He would rather stand up for the architect of the January 6 insurrection.
How spineless.
BIG NEWS: Our campaign was just endorsed by
@wweek
!
"Erickson’s wealth is his only credential, while Salinas has established herself as an expert on health care, a consensus builder, and someone with whom others enjoy working. She’s an easy choice."
I am so proud to have earned the

endorsement today! Passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was a good first step. But our work is not done. In Congress, I will continue to work to pass commonsense gun safety legislation like I have done in Oregon.
#OR06
🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨
Today, we’re endorsing several candidates who have the courage to fight for a future free of gun violence—Americans expect nothing less. We need leaders who will stand up to the corrupt gun lobby & work towards stopping gun violence.

Oregonians need a working class champion who will fight to lower the cost of living, protect our communities from violent crime, and deliver funding to get people off the streets and into housing.
I'll be that champion – right now and always.
Check out our new ad in

Speaker Johnson said it himself.
Extreme Republicans would rather play partisan games than pass laws to make your life better.
But that’s not how I roll.
Whether it’s fighting to protect reproductive freedom or prevent cuts to Medicare, I will *always* put Oregonians first.
We're seeing the effects of climate change across Oregon—from extreme heat to devastating wildfires.
I've been fighting to protect the environment since my time in the State House. And I’m not stopping now.
Together, we can deliver a better planet for future generations.
So proud to have
