Rep. Andrea Salinas’ Statement Following Government Spending Bill Vote

July 21, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) released the following statement regarding her vote against the government spending bill, known as the Continuing Resolution. “Oregonians are struggling with the affordability crisis, and Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran is only making it worse. Despite this, House Republicans voted to give more funding to the Pentagon and to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. I gladly voted against this bill,” said Rep. Salinas. “Republicans’ bill does nothing to address the real issues Oregonians are facing. Congress should not be providing more money for a war that’s raising costs for Americans, and we cannot give more money to Trump’s violent immigration crackdown that’s terrorizing our communities. Republicans need to get back to work and pass bills that will lower costs for families, not advance the President’s illegal and inhumane agenda.” Issues : Congress Immigration
