John, this cycle I'm facing the exact same opponent I narrowly beat two years ago in the race for OR-06: Mike Erickson.
And by narrowly, I mean we won this race with 50.1% of the vote. So about as close as it gets!
Here are three things you need to know about anti-choice extremist Mike Erickson:
- He wants to ban abortion in all 50 states, including Oregon, without exceptions for rape or incest. He has repeatedly attacked Oregon's law protecting abortion rights — a law that I'm proud to have helped pass! — and in Congress, he would be yet another vote in favor of the House GOP's plan to ban abortion nationwide.
- Erickson said Donald Trump's actions during his presidency "were great for this country." That tells you a lot about the direction Erickson would take if given a leadership position.
- Erickson has millions to spend on his campaign. In 2022, he poured millions of dollars into OR-06 to flood this district with ads attacking our campaign, and he is poised to do the exact same thing again. And this time, the NRCC has already reserved $6 million in TV air time in our media market this fall — a staggering amount of money.
Winning this race will be difficult, but if we all put in the work, we can get this done — and the stakes are simply too high to let the GOP flip this district.
That's why, John, I'm asking you to split a donation between my campaign and EMILYs List today:
DONATE $15 | DONATE $35 |
DONATE $50 | DONATE $100 |
DONATE $250 | DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT |
In a race this competitive, every single dollar goes a long way. I could not be more grateful for your support.
Thanks,
Andrea Salinas
