Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representing Oregon's 6th District since 2023, has recently expressed her views on several key issues through a series of tweets. Salinas, who previously served in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023, addressed topics ranging from birthright citizenship to campaign finance reform and congressional committee assignments.

On January 21, 2025, Congresswoman Salinas commented on an executive order by the President regarding birthright citizenship. She stated that "Birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment. @POTUS' order is blatantly unconstitutional & I'll do everything in my power to fight it." She further emphasized her commitment to working on bipartisan reforms aimed at securing borders and addressing immigration system challenges.

Later that day, she addressed the Supreme Court decision known as Citizens United. In her tweet, she described it as "a disastrous decision that gave corporations and special interests a way to buy access and influence." She called for action to return power to the American people with the hashtag #EndCitizensUnited.

In another tweet posted on January 21, 2025, Salinas shared news about her committee assignments for the 119th Congress. She highlighted the importance of committees in legislative work and provided resources for constituents interested in learning more about their functions. "Committees play a vital role," she wrote, inviting followers to watch a video explaining their significance.
