Andrea Salinas Secures Second Term in Oregon's 6th District

Democrat Andrea Salinas defeats Republican Mike Erickson again, solidifying her position in Oregon's newly established congressional district.

Andrea Salinas, a Democrat, has been reelected to represent Oregon's 6th Congressional District, overcoming Republican challenger Mike Erickson.
The 6th District, created after the 2020 census, includes Salem and parts of Portland, and is considered to lean Democratic.
Salinas and Lori Chavez-DeRemer made history in 2022 as the first Latina members of Congress from Oregon.
Salinas significantly outfunded Erickson, raising over $5 million compared to his approximately $545,000.
President Joe Biden would have won the district by about 13 points in the 2020 presidential election, reflecting its Democratic inclination.
