Friend, my name is Andrea Salinas and I proudly serve Oregon’s 6th Congressional District in Congress. With our election heating up, my friend Ted said I could reach out to personally introduce myself and share a little about why I’m in this fight.

I’m running in one of the most competitive elections in the entire country, and I’m counting on grassroots supporters like you to help us defend this seat and preserve the progress we’ve made. If you don’t have time to read this email right now (that’s okay!), can I count on you to split a donation between Ted and my campaign to fuel our fight for a better future?

My dad immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in 1950. He believed in the power of hard work to make a difference. He worked in the fields, served two tours in Vietnam, and took a union job to provide a path into the middle class for our family.

While we didn’t have a lot growing up, my family believed that through hard work, you can achieve anything. It took me seven years to graduate college – and I juggled multiple jobs, from painting houses to pouring coffee – but I put in the hard work and earned that degree.

My daughter was born 18 years ago, and my family’s hard work gave me the determination that I needed to leave the world a better place for her. That’s why I stepped up to join the Oregon legislature.

As a state legislator, I fought for more affordable health care, helped Oregon begin to tackle our climate crisis, and passed the nation’s most progressive paid family leave bill. It takes hard work to get these things done, but I was determined.

And now, I’ve brought that same level of determination to Congress. It’s the honor of my life to fight for hard-working families – just like yours and mine – every day to ensure we all have the healthcare, reproductive freedoms, quality education, clean air and water, good-paying jobs, and democratic principles that we deserve. 

Friend, I know change can happen in one generation if we work for it, but we have to work together. That’s why I’m asking: Can I count on you to split a donation with Ted and my people-powered campaign today? Every dollar makes a huge difference in ensuring we have the resources we need to keep fighting for Oregon in Congress.
