Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representing Oregon's 6th District, shared a series of tweets addressing several key issues on February 18, 2025. These statements highlight her stance on privacy rights, trade relations with Canada, and support for small businesses.

In a tweet posted at 18:06 UTC, Salinas criticized the actions of Elon Musk and others regarding private bank records. She stated: "Elon Musk & his rich friends have no business rifling through YOUR private bank records. With the support of just 3 Republicans, we can pass legislation that will put a stop to this illegal power grab & protect Americans' constitutional right to privacy."

Later at 19:39 UTC, she addressed U.S.-Canada trade relations concerning American wineries. Salinas emphasized Canada's significance as a market for U.S. wine by saying: "Canada is the largest foreign market for U.S. wine, with over $1.1 billion in total annual retail sales. That's why I’m calling on President Trump to protect American wineries by avoiding a catastrophic trade war with our northern neighbor."

At 21:55 UTC, Congresswoman Salinas voiced concerns about funding cuts affecting small businesses under the Trump Administration. She remarked: "The Trump Administration is pulling the rug out from under our small business owners—taking away critical funding they need to grow their business and leaving them with the bill. These reckless cuts are hurting local businesses and our economy here in Oregon's Sixth District."
