Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representing Oregon's 6th District since 2023, has been actively sharing her insights and initiatives through social media. Her recent posts highlight federal funding for mental health support, the celebration of Black History Month, and an upcoming town hall meeting.

On January 31, 2025, Congresswoman Salinas expressed gratitude for federal funding enabling "@Lines_For_life is able to provide mental health crisis support for over 140,000 Oregonians every week." She also discussed with Executive Director Dwight Holton the potential negative impacts of a "Trump's reckless funding freeze" on these critical services.

On February 1, 2025, she acknowledged Black History Month by emphasizing its importance as "a time to celebrate the stories and invaluable contributions of Black Americans to our nation." She committed to supporting Black communities in Oregon's 6th District and nationwide.

Later that day, she announced her participation in an in-person town hall alongside Senator Jeff Merkley at Parrish Middle School. Scheduled for February 2 at 4:30 PM PT, this event requires no RSVP. The details are provided in her post: "TOMORROW: I’ll be joining @SenJeffMerkley at Parrish Middle School for an in-person town hall at 4:30 PM."
