Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, who represents Oregon’s 6th District in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of messages on February 14, 2026, addressing legislative efforts, state pride, and personal greetings.

In a post on February 14, Salinas announced new legislation with Senator Jeff Merkley aimed at increasing accountability for federal immigration enforcement agencies. She wrote: “Today, @SenJeffMerkley and I stood up for victims of ICE overreach — and laid out our solution to stop it. Our new legislation lets people sue ICE and CBP for trampling on their rights. When we choose accountability, we can put an end to Trump’s abuse.”

Later that day, Salinas commemorated Oregon’s statehood anniversary. In her message she stated: “Happy 167th Birthday to our great state, #Oregon Today and always, I am proud to serve as your Member of Congress! I will continue fighting to improve the lives of Oregonians and find real solutions so our children and grandchildren can thrive. Cheers “ This message highlighted her ongoing commitment to her constituents.

In another post marking Valentine’s Day, Salinas extended well wishes to her spouse and residents of her district: “Happy Valentine’s Day to my spouse and to everyone in #OR06! Wishing you a day filled with so much love “
