Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, who represents Oregon’s 6th District in the U.S. Congress and has served since 2023, posted a series of tweets criticizing Republican actions regarding health care and government funding.
On October 9, 2025, Salinas wrote: “This is a betrayal of American families. Mike Johnson, stop this B.S. NOW.”
The following day, she continued her criticism with another post on October 10, stating: “After cutting Medicaid and shuttering rural hospitals, Republicans have now shut down the government, driving up health costs for nearly 30% of workers. Rural communities are once again paying for Republican dysfunction.”
Later that same day, Salinas posted: “Republicans have put a target on your health care — first with Medicaid cuts in their Big, Ugly Bill, and now by shutting down the government to block your access to affordable care. Clearly, they are not in the business of working for you. #WhereisMikeJohnson?”
Andrea Salinas was born in San Mateo, California in 1969 and currently resides in Tigard. She previously served in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023 before being elected to Congress. Salinas earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1994.
