Tualatin, OR - Tonight, U.S. Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) issued the following statement in response to President Trump's executive order attacking mail-in voting:
"Trump is once again trying to attack our elections, this time going after mail-in voting. For thirty years, Oregon has conducted safe, fair, and accurate elections via mail. In fact, the president himself voted by mail in Florida's elections earlier this month. This is Trump's latest attempt at voter suppression, and it won't hold up in court. The Constitution is clear, each state is responsible for running elections, and this executive order does not change that. No executive order will stop Oregonians from making their voices heard."
Yesterday, Rep. Salinas joined Ranking Member of the U.S. House Administration Committee Congressman Joe Morelle (NY-25), Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read, and Marion County Clerk Bill Burgess to discuss coordinated efforts to protect voting rights and ensure secure, accessible elections ahead of the 2026 midterms. A full recordingof that discussion is available on Rep. Salinas' YouTube page.
