On July 25, Salinas addressed healthcare funding concerns in Oregon alongside Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Andrea Dexter. She tweeted: “I stood with @RonWyden & @RepDexterOR to call out Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill, which blocks OHP (Medicaid) payments to @PPFA for a year. The reality is that 60% of @PPFA patients in #OR rely on OHP for vital services like cancer screenings. This is an all-out attack on women,” (July 25, 2025)
