  Salem City Club is pleased to present Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, representative of Oregon's 6th District which includes most of Salem*.  She will brief us on the work of the U.S. Congress in general, her committee work, and her priorities for congressional action.

  
  

  Most of the program will be devoted to addressing questions from the audience.  The questions asked will provide Congresswoman Salinas and her staff insight into the concerns and hopes of constituents in the Salem area.  We trust her answers to your questions will inform those listening with insight and understanding about policy and politics at the national level and how those elements can dramatically impact state and local services to the public.  Please come with your questions ready!  Please note: Salem City Club members will be given priority for asking questions.

  Andrea Salinas

  
  

  Congresswoman Andrea Salinas is the proud daughter of a Mexican immigrant and a first-generation American who has dedicated her career to public service.  Her father immigrated to the United States as a child, worked in the fields of the Rio Grande Valley, and later became a police officer-a story that shaped Andrea's belief in the promise of hard work and opportunity.  A first-generation college student, Andrea began her career as a congressional aide and policy advisor before falling in love with Oregon's Willamette Valley.

  Andrea later worked as an advocate for labor unions, environmental groups, and reproductive rights organizations before serving in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2017-2022, where she was House Majority Whip and Chair of the House Health Care Committee.  In Congress, she serves on the House Agricultural and House Science, Space and Technology Committees and is Co-Chair of the bi-partisan Mental Health Caucus, focusing on lowering costs, supporting rural communities, expanding access to mental health care, and creating good-paying jobs.  Andrea lives in Tigard with her husband, Chris, and their daughter Amelia.
