Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representing Oregon's 6th District since 2023, has been actively engaging with her constituents and addressing various social issues through her recent social media posts. Her background includes serving in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023 and a degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

On December 9, 2024, Salinas participated in a roundtable discussion with colleagues from the Hispanic Caucus to address challenges faced by Latino veterans and their families. She highlighted the involvement of Stephanie Torres, an OR06 constituent who works as a Military & Family Readiness Specialist for the Oregon Guard. "I joined a roundtable with my @HispanicCaucus colleagues to discuss the challenges faced by Latino veterans & their families. One participant was Stephanie Torres, an #OR06 constituent, who shared her experiences as a Military & Family Readiness Specialist for the @OregonGuard."

On December 10, 2024, Salinas expressed her support for the Project Turnkey Act via Twitter. The act aims to expand Oregon's successful program nationwide to provide families transitioning out of homelessness with safe and comfortable temporary housing. "Giving families a safe, comfortable place to stay is key to helping them transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing. That’s why I’m proud to support the Project Turnkey Act, which would take Oregon's successful program nationwide."

Later on December 10, she posted about "Twinning Tuesday," sharing light-hearted content with her team. "Seeing double? Happy #TwinningTuesday from Team Salinas!"
