As the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, I know change is possible in a single generation -- but only if we work for it. I am ready to get to work on behalf of #OR06. Thank you for electing me to be your champion. My full statement:

Sending my best wishes to as she officially becomes Oregon’s 39th governor! I look forward to working with her on the issues that matter most to Oregonians, from housing to safety and everything in between.

Late last night, I took the congressional oath of office. And as I stood in our gorgeous Capitol, saying those awe-inspiring words, I thought of YOU — the amazing members of Team Salinas who made this moment possible. Thank you, #OR06.

My first vote on the House floor was the same as my second which was the same as my third and fourth and now my eighth. I voted for to be Speaker of the House. He’d be a fantastic Speaker. And he’s got the whole caucus behind him. Unlike someone else I know.

Today would be a really good day for Republicans to get their act together so we can finally begin the people’s work in the People’s House.

After six failed votes, I am just about sick to death of hearing Republicans preach about the need to “get things done.” Yeah, no kidding! So let’s do it. I’ll show up at 8pm to do my part — here’s hoping they do the same.

If you are experiencing homelessness, please find your nearest warming shelter right away. It’s not safe to remain unsheltered. Residents of Oregon’s sixth district can find warming center locations in this thread. ⤵️

So proud to be serving alongside you! #OR06 has the largest Latino population of any congressional district in Oregon. I look forward to representing the needs of our community -- a community that has been underrepresented for far too long -- in Congress.

On #VeteransDay, we honor the courageous individuals who answered the call to serve their country. I am so proud to be the daughter of a veteran -- my dad who served two tours in Vietnam. We are grateful to you, today and every day. Thank you.

Good afternoon, Oregon! Here's a quick update from Team Salinas: Ballots are still being counted across the sixth district – but I'm confident that once final numbers come in, we will come out on top. We put in the work. And now we wait. #OR06

There is so much at stake in this election: an economy that works for everyone, access to abortion, protecting our environment, & making our communities safer. Don't sit this one out! The choice is clear in #OR06. Vote! Find a dropbox here:

I had such a great time knocking on doors with my family this weekend! They're the reason I do what I do. And when I'm in Congress, I'll fight for your family just as hard as I would my own. #OR06

Despite making up about 9.3% of the U.S. population, Latinas make up less than 3% of officials elected to statewide executive offices, state legislatures and Congress. and are hoping to change that with historic wins.💛

Tune in right now to Radio Poder 98.3 FM for La Voz del Pueblo en el Valle de Willamette to hear about why this #OR06 election is so important! If elected, I would be the first Latina to represent Oregon in Congress. I look forward to providing a strong voice for our community.

Thank you for getting our volunteers fired up today! Like you said: These folks are special because they're showing up to talk to voters even when it's raining out. That's not easy, & it speaks to the dedication of our team. This is how we win #OR06.

My opponent is hoping you don't remember how he used to promote Trumpian election fraud conspiracies on his website. He's also hoping you'll forget he threatened to overturn this election. He has no regard for truth – or for our democracy.

Republicans. Want. To. Cut. Social. Security. And. Medicare. And they desperately need #OR06 to do it. That’s why my opponent has spent more than $2 million of his own money on this race. And why I’m fighting harder than ever to win.

Republicans pressing to take control of Congress next week are talking openly about their desire to cut spending on Social Security and Medicare @jimtankersley nytimes.com/2022/11/02/us/

Like so many other families, my family has had to make hard choices at the grocery store — which only makes this kind of blatant profiteering all the more infuriating. Enough is enough. We need to hold corporations accountable for taking advantage of a global crisis.

Some food companies are still raising prices even if their own inflation-driven costs have been covered. Critics say the moves are all about increasing profits, not covering expenses. nyti.ms/3DuQyNQ
PepsiCo's prices for its drinks and chips increased by 17% in the latest quarter from year-earlier levels. PepsiCo also reported that its third-quarter profit grew more 21.5%.

My thoughts are with Paul Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, and their family in this frightening time. I’m wishing him a speedy, full recovery. Political violence is an evil that every leader — no matter what party they belong to — must denounce. We are better than this.

Las familias trabajadoras de #OR06 necesitan una defensora de las familias trabajadoras que luche por: 💰Reducir el costo de vida 🚓 Proteger a las comunidades de la violencia 🏡 Entregar fondos para dar vivienda a las personas de las calles.

Oregonians need a working class champion who will fight to lower the cost of living, protect our communities from violent crime, and deliver funding to get people off the streets and into housing. I'll be that champion – right now and always. Check out our new ad in #OR06.
