You can count on me to keep fighting to protect our public lands so future generations can enjoy them as much as we do 🌳 🛶

Happy National Wildlife Refuge Week 🦫🦅🦌 #OR06 is home to some incredible wild places — from the wetlands of the Tualatin River and oak savannas of Baskett Slough to the prairies of Ankeny.

What if the water flowing through our pipes could also help power our communities? 💧 In #Tualatin, it now can! I joined the ribbon cutting for the city’s new in-pipe hydropower project, turning infrastructure we already rely on into clean, affordable energy ⚡️

Happy National Farmers Day 🌾 Thank you to the #OR06 farmers, growers, and producers who feed our families and power our local economy. While the Trump Admin keeps attacking rural communities, I’ll keep fighting back to give our farmers the tools they need to thrive for generations to come.

ICE is recklessly and needlessly endangering innocent people. My statement on their operations today in Salem:

I got a firsthand look at PSU’s Center for Improvement of Child and Family Services in #Salem, where caseworkers and caregivers practice through real-world simulations 🛝 Thanks for having me, and an even bigger thank you for all your work!

When ICE kills somebody in our communities, transparency must be the bare minimum.

Thank you to the Korean Society of Oregon for inviting me to celebrate Chuseok in #Beaverton 🌕 During this harvest season, I’m grateful for the community that came together to remember, give thanks, and look ahead to a more prosperous future.

What makes a community a place folks want to visit, shop, dine, invest in, and return to? I was honored to moderate the Tigard Chamber of Commerce State of Business event tackling that question. Together, we’re building a vibrant Main Street and a Tigard that’s a destination in its own right.

“Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.” The Portland Gray Panthers have lived founder Maggie Kuhn’s words for decades. Thanks for having me and for hearing what I’ve been working on in Congress!

Hiking a new trail always brings a bit of joy! It was a pleasure to celebrate the grand opening of the Hillsdale to Lake Oswego Trail! It will offer our neighbors a fresh chance to explore the community and enjoy the great outdoors. I am proud to have been one of many who helped make it possible.

Last year, Trump cruelly cut the 988 Press 3 LGBTQ+ hotline -- slashing a vital lifeline for our LGBTQ+ youth. ‼️Here is the good news: I am proud to say it's been restored and is now operational‼️

This might be a hot take for Republicans, but Americans should not be dipping into their savings account to get by. President Trump, do you really think the affordability crisis is still a "hoax"?
1113
Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov · 29/09/2026
Hunger is a policy choice. Republicans slashed vital SNAP benefits at a time when their policies have skyrocketed grocery prices, leaving hardworking families to pay the price. This #HungerActionDay, we recommit to ending hunger instead of stripping support from the people who need it most.

Happy Chuseok! 추석 잘 보내세요! It was an honor to join the Korean Society of Oregon over the weekend to celebrate this harvest festival and the traditions, culture, and lasting contributions of Korean Americans.

📞 Good news call! The $1 MILLION I secured for Oregon Tech’s quantum research program is now being dispensed. Investing in students, research, and innovation means more opportunities for Oregonians and a stronger economy.

I joined the National Council on Problem Gambling to discuss my bill to expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services.

Americans wagered more than $166 BILLION on sports betting last year — roughly the size of Morocco’s entire economy. But support for those struggling with problem gambling hasn’t kept pace.

For 30 years, the Latino Network has shown the power of community-led change. During Hispanic Heritage Month, I was proud to celebrate their anniversary and honor their work uplifting our Latino youth and families.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov · 24/09/2026
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to recognize the extraordinary contributions that Latinos have made to our country. But we also need to talk about how the Trump Administration is treating our community.

Thank you to the Women Leadership and Empowerment Summit for having me! It was great to be in a room full of changemakers celebrating the tremendous contributions of immigrants and first-generation women leaders. Their work has strengthened our economy and helped shape our state for the better.

Trade relationships take decades to build. Trump’s tariffs destroyed those relationships within a year.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov · 17/09/2026
Here is what wine growers and producers in my state are saying about Trump's tariffs: ❌ Sales are down ❌ Relationships are broken ❌ They are struggling to stay afloat Trump manufactured this crisis, and he can put a stop to these reckless tariffs.

We’re in the middle of an affordability crisis. The last thing Oregonians need are data centers driving up their utility bills. I just voted on a bill to protect Oregon families and small businesses from rising costs.

REPORT: New data shows that the average household in Oregon has had to pay an additional $4,300+ for goods under Trump. While American families suffer, the Trump family’s wealth is going up and up.

If candidates are concerned that voters will reject their candidacy at the ballot box, the answer is not to make it harder for people to vote. The answer is to earn their votes. My statement on today's SCOTUS ruling striking down Trump's voter suppression plan:

Everybody deserves due process and real access to legal counsel. At PIRC, I saw their frontline work to protect immigrants from ICE’s abuses. I’ll keep fighting to defend our communities and ensure immigrant families get support when a loved one is detained.

Great to be back at Punx in the Park — now in its fifth year of bringing live music, punk makeovers, and a massive lineup of resources to Salem youth 🤘 It was moving to see so many people come together to connect young folks with support in an environment where they feel comfortable.

Happy #LaborDay! Today reminds me of the values I learned growing up in a union family — dignity, solidarity, and a fair shot for every worker. I am proud to stand with working Americans and will keep fighting for fair wages, good benefits, and safe conditions for all.

Had a blast at the Oregon State Fair! What a great day. It was so fun celebrating Oregon food, history, and everything else our state has to offer. The fair ends tomorrow, so get there while you can!

Since Trump took office, Oregonians have had to pay an extra $3,900 because of inflation, his tariffs, and his war with Iran. Families deserve leaders focused on lowering costs and making it easier to get ahead.

It’s #NationalFoodBankDay! 🍎 The demand at food banks is soaring, but support is thinning. Who can you thank? Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. I'm committed to ensuring food banks have the resources they need to keep their shelves stocked so no one is left wondering where or when their next meal is.

We need to stop the Trump Administration’s rollback of the Roadless Rule before the damage is irreversible. I will keep up the fight to protect our lands 🌲

President Trump has promised to go after the “worst of the worst.” Instead, he's targeting a pastor and the father of a Marine. Just goes to show how cruel his immigration agenda really is.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov · 02/09/2026
Every day, more and more of our neighbors don’t know where their next meal will come from. Bethlehem House of Bread in Tigard is working to change that, and I’m working in Congress to support them. Hear more from me and my new friend Jeff.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov · 02/09/2026
Trump knows that the only way Republicans can win this midterm election is to lie and cheat. Fear of losing isn’t an excuse to block mail‑in voting. It’s a call to earn voters’ trust. My bill would ensure every eligible voter can vote by mail in federal elections.

Hampton Lumber, a family-owned sawmill, has been active in #Willamina since 1942. As Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Forestry & Horticulture, it was great to see their operations up close and gain insight into the opportunities & challenges the forestry industry faces. Thanks for having me!

#OR06 is a hub for higher learning 🎓 At Corban University in #Salem, I saw firsthand how they’re preparing students to succeed, and we discussed how I can help advance their work at the federal level.

🌽 Not to be corny… but I’m proud to support the Aumsville Corn Festival and the local growers, businesses, and community that make small-town traditions like this one so special.

I was honored to speak at Oregon Entrepreneurs Network’s Pitch Day to celebrate bold ideas, diverse innovators, and the startups advancing our state’s economy. I’m inspired by their vision and excited by what’s ahead!

In the richest nation on the planet, hunger is a policy choice. I stopped by Bethlehem House of Bread, a Tigard-based food pantry serving thousands of our neighbors each month. As costs climb and Republicans slash food benefits, families are being forced to turn to places like this.
