Suzanne Bonamici | United States Representative
Oregon Congressional District 1

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has represented Oregon’s First District since 2012. Before serving in Congress, Suzanne spent hundreds of hours volunteering in public schools and advocating for students to have a quality, well-rounded education. As a parent and advocate, her passion for strengthening public education led her to serve in the Oregon State Legislature and it continues to be one of her top priorities in Congress, where she serves on the Committee on Education and Workforce, and the Committee on Science, Space and Technology.  

Suzanne’s first job was at her mom’s small business. She knows firsthand the hard work that goes into running a business and the need to be flexible in the face of adversity.   

In Congress, Suzanne is working to address the cost of housing and childcare, make higher education more affordable, and fix our broken student loan system. She is also advocating to fully fund the critical federal programs that invest in infrastructure and transportation and helping direct investments to NW Oregon through the Community Funding Project process. 

Andrea Salinas | United States Representative
Oregon Congressional District 6

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas is the proud daughter of a Mexican immigrant, a first-generation American, and dedicated public servant working for the people of Oregon’s sixth district. Her father immigrated to the United States as a child and picked cotton and tomatoes in the fields of the Rio Grande Valley before eventually going on to serve as a police officer. Her family’s story is an American story – one where hard work can provide a path to a better life. 

A first-generation college student, Andrea decided to pursue a path of public service after graduation and worked as a US congressional aide and policy advisor to Senator Harry Reid and Congressman Pete Stark. Later, Andrea fell in love with the communities of the Willamette Valley while serving as a district aide for Congresswoman Darlene Hooley. 

After her work with Congresswoman Hooley concluded, Andrea went on to serve as an advocate for labor unions, environmental groups, and reproductive rights organizations in Oregon. In 2017, she was appointed to the Oregon House of Representatives and served through the end of her term in 2022. In the Oregon House of Representatives, she served as House Majority Whip and was the Chair of the House Health Care Committee.  

In Congress, Andrea is proud to serve on the House Agriculture and House Science, Space, and Technology Committees, where she crafts policies that will help level the playing field for Oregon farmers and rural communities and create more good-paying, union jobs. As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Mental Health Caucus, she has prioritized making mental health care and addiction treatment more accessible and affordable. 

Andrea and her husband, Chris, live in Tigard with their daughter, Amelia.
