Congresswoman Andrea Salinas has been vocal on social media concerning various topics affecting her constituents and nationwide issues. Representing Oregon's 6th District since 2023, Salinas continues her advocacy for affordable housing, economic responsibility, and equity in budgeting. Her tweets emphasize these priorities and reflect concerns over recent political developments.

On April 9, 2025, Congresswoman Salinas shared details of her meeting with Oregonians from NeighborWorks America. She highlighted the importance of addressing the need for "more affordable, high-quality housing solutions." Salinas reiterated her commitment to "bring down costs and expand access to housing for working families in #OR06 and across America."

Later the same day, Salinas critiqued former President Donald Trump's economic policies, specifically his tariff strategies, in a tweet questioning the concept of "Liberation Day." In her view, "If this reckless tariff experiment has shown us anything, it's that Donald Trump cannot be trusted with the economy." She concluded with a stern acknowledgment that "The damage has been done."

Continuing her commentary on April 9, Salinas criticized the Republicans' budget plan through a tweet shared at 19:31 UTC. She stated that under the plan, "Billionaires win" while "Working families lose," asserting that the GOP is prioritizing "making themselves and their billionaire friends even richer" over the needs of the general population.

Andrea Salinas, who has represented Oregon's 6th District since 2023, was born in San Mateo, California, in 1969. She achieved her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1994. Salinas resides in Tigard and previously served in the House from 2017 to 2023.
