Salinas Statement on Committee Assignments for the 119th Congress

January 14, 2025 Press Release Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) issued the following statement after being appointed to the House Agriculture Committee and House Science, Space, and Technology Committee for the 119th Congress: “I am honored to continue serving on both the House Agriculture and House Science, Space, and Technology Committees during the 119th Congress. As a member of the Agriculture Committee, I will continue fighting to pass a strong, bipartisan Farm Bill that levels the playing field for Oregon growers and includes much-needed specialty crop insurance reform, disaster relief for farmworkers, more resources to help prevent and combat wildfires, and so many other top priorities for our rural communities. At the same time, I will keep working as a member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee to deliver robust investments in Oregon’s Silicon Forest, create more good-paying jobs, and solidify our state’s position as a leader in technology and scientific innovation for decades to come. My service on these Committees, in addition to taking on new leadership roles in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and New Democrat Coalition, will ensure that Oregonians have a louder voice in crafting policy on the issues that matter most to them. I look forward to the work ahead.” ### Issues : Congress Agriculture Rural Development Science, Space, and Technology
