Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representing Oregon's 6th District since 2023, has recently shared her thoughts on various community and legislative issues through a series of tweets. These posts reflect her engagement with local concerns and broader policy discussions.

On February 11, 2025, Congresswoman Salinas highlighted the efforts of Salem resident Krystal Kraig Labate in assisting unsheltered dogs during the winter season. "Some good news for your Tuesday morning: Salem resident Krystal Kraig Labate is doing her part to help unsheltered dogs stay warm this winter. As a dog lover myself, I'm grateful for all you do to protect our furry neighbors in #OR06!"

Later that day, at a House Agriculture Democrats hearing, she addressed the potential economic impact of removing undocumented workers from the labor force. "At today's @HouseAgDems hearing, I asked about the impact of removing 11 million undocumented workers from our labor force. The answer: It would be devastating for Oregon growers & for our economy. We need real solutions that will support farm families & bring down costs."

In another tweet posted on February 11, 2025, Congresswoman Salinas expressed her opposition to proposed cuts to Medicaid by Republicans. She emphasized her commitment to protecting healthcare access for Oregonians by meeting with SEIU Local 503. "Over 1.4 million Oregonians rely on Medicaid for lifesaving care. As Republicans threaten drastic cuts to this critical program, I met with @SEIU Local 503 to let them know I won't stand for it. I will keep fighting to protect health care access for Oregon families."
