Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, who represents Oregon’s 6th District in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of tweets on April 29, 2026, addressing federal management of public lands, childcare costs, and recent policy decisions affecting food assistance programs.
In her first tweet at 20:58 UTC, Salinas criticized former President Donald Trump’s approach to forest management: “President Trump is further dismantling an already strained Forest Service that is responsible for managing 193 million acres nationwide and 16 million acres in Oregon. The Trump Administration needs to learn that Oregonians are serious about protecting our public lands.”
Later the same evening at 22:00 UTC, she highlighted concerns over the affordability of childcare for American families: ” Childcare should not be the price of a mortgage I am fighting to make sure that families can spend more time with their children and less time worrying about finances.”
At 23:31 UTC, Salinas addressed changes to social benefits by congressional Republicans: “Republicans stripped benefits that help millions of Americans afford their next meal… and they sure aren’t concerned about veterans, seniors, and children who are going hungry. This has to stop.”
Andrea Salinas has served in Congress since 2023 after previously holding office in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023. Born in San Mateo, California in 1969 and currently residing in Tigard, she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BA in 1994.
