Congresswoman Andrea Salinas has actively engaged with various issues affecting her constituents through recent posts on social media. Her comments shed light on her stance on voting rights, local governance collaborations, and rural healthcare access.

On April 10, 2025, Representative Salinas criticized the Republican party for their stance on voting rights, specifically targeting the SAVE Act. She stated, "Republicans are attacking voting rights for U.S. citizens. The SAVE Act severely restricts access to the ballot box for millions of Americans—including folks without passports or who changed their name after marriage. It's outright voter suppression. I voted no."

The next day, Congresswoman Salinas met with Tim Rosener, Mayor of Sherwood, during his visit to Washington, D.C. She shared their collaborative spirit, mentioning, "I met with Tim Rosener, Mayor of #Sherwood, here in DC. From infrastructure projects to public safety initiatives, we’re committed to working together to make life better for you and your neighbors. Thanks for stopping by, Tim!" on April 11, 2025.

Later on April 11, 2025, Salinas discussed healthcare in rural Oregon. Highlighting a legislative initiative, she noted, "For many folks in rural Oregon, seeing a specialty care provider is an ordeal that involves long drives & even longer wait times. My bipartisan bill with @RepArrington would help change that, using telehealth to make it easier for rural Americans to get the care they need."

Andrea Salinas, an experienced lawmaker from Oregon and an alumna of the University of California, Berkeley, has served in the U.S. Congress since 2023, representing Oregon's 6th District. Before her congressional tenure, she served in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023.
