Wayne Morse 2023 Speaker Announcement:
Congresswoman Andrea Salinas!
[[link removed]]
John,
We are honored to announce that Congresswoman Andrea Salinas will be speaking at this year's Wayne Morse Gala!
Congresswoman Andrea Salinas is the proud daughter of a Mexican immigrant, a first-generation American, and a dedicated public servant working for the people of Oregon's Sixth District. Her father immigrated to the US from Mexico in 1950 and worked in the fields picking cotton and tomatoes before he was in the first grade. Andrea graduated from UC Berkeley and was the first person in her family to attend a four year university. After graduating, she worked in the offices of Senator Harry Reid and Congressman Pete Stark in Washington, DC before moving to Oregon to raise her family. In Oregon, she served as a district aide for Congresswoman Darlene Hooley and fell in love with the communities of the Willamette Valley.
While raising her daughter, Amelia, she served as an advocate for labor unions, environmental groups, and reproductive rights organizations. In 2017, Andrea was appointed to the Oregon House of Representatives where she worked to lower prescription drug prices, champion efforts to protect Oregonians from workplace harassment, and led the fight to reduce carbon pollution. In Salem, she served as House Majority Whip and was the Chair of the House Health Care Committee. Andrea ran for Congress in 2022 because she knew there was more work to be done in DC on behalf of Oregon working families. She won a competitive district by 2.5 points and now serves as one of Oregon’s first Latina Members of Congress. In Congress, she serves on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee and the Agriculture Committee. Andrea looks forward to working on behalf of everyday Oregonians to lower costs, improve access to healthcare, and protect our environment.
We are thrilled to hear from such a dynamic leader and great Oregonian! Secure your tickets today and join us for one of the biggest events of the year.
