Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representing Oregon's 6th District, has been actively engaging with her constituents and addressing national issues through a series of tweets. Her recent posts reflect her commitment to local collaboration and constitutional rights.

On January 23, 2025, Salinas shared on Twitter about welcoming Yamhill County Commissioner Bubba King and Newberg City Councilor Elise Yarnell Hollamon to her Washington D.C. office. She expressed enthusiasm for the meeting, stating: "I recently welcomed Yamhill County Commissioner Bubba King & Newberg City Councilor Elise Yarnell Hollamon to my DC office! It was great seeing them & chatting about how we can work together to make life better for folks in Yamhill County & across #OR06. Thanks for stopping by!"

Later that day, Salinas commented on a constitutional issue regarding citizenship as outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment. In response to an executive order attempt by the President of the United States, she tweeted: "The Fourteenth Amendment states that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States.' @POTUS' attempt to change that through executive order is both unconstitutional and un-American." This tweet underscores her stance on protecting constitutional provisions.

On January 24, 2025, Congresswoman Salinas announced her legislative initiative aimed at expanding voting access. She stated: "Today, I'm introducing a bill to establish a national right to vote by mail. All eligible voters should be able to participate in our elections, including folks who can’t make it to the polls due to age, illness, disability, work obligations, or any other reason." This proposal highlights her advocacy for inclusive electoral participation.
