Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, who represents Oregon’s 6th District in the U.S. Congress, recently posted a series of tweets highlighting local sports achievements, Supreme Court decisions, and a military anniversary.
On November 9, 2025, Salinas congratulated the Portland Thorns FC for their recent soccer victory: “Congrats to @ThornsFC for the thrilling OT win today over San Diego to send us to the semifinals! https://t.co/OGJlEW98sn”
The following day, she commented on a decision by the Supreme Court regarding same-sex marriage rights: “The Supreme Court made the right decision not to hear a challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. As it should be, same-sex marriage will remain a constitutional right. https://t.co/Xkej7BBAf4” The case Obergefell v. Hodges established marriage equality as law throughout the United States in 2015.
Later that day, Salinas marked an important milestone for the U.S. Marine Corps: “Today, the Marine Corps celebrates its 250th birthday. As the proud daughter of a Marine, I thank every Marine for their tremendous sacrifices, bravery, and dedication to protecting our freedoms. Happy Birthday Marines — Semper Fi!”
