It’s still too close to call in the Sixth District
Oregon gained a new sixth congressional district this year. After a contentious primary where she was outspent by millions by a Super PAC funded by a crypto-billionaire, Andrea Salinas emerged victorious as our Democratic nominee.
Now Andrea is in a tough fight with MAGA Republican Mike Erickson, who has spent over $1 million of his own money to buy this election. He has lots of wealthy friends and special interests who are pitching in, too.
I need you to rush a donation of $3 now and help Andrea in the final weeks of the campaign.

Mike Erickson is about as radical as it gets. His anti-environment, anti-choice record is both wrong for Oregon and the country.
Meanwhile, Andrea Salinas is the right champion for the Sixth. Here's why:
Andrea was fighting for bold climate action long before it was cool, before many Americans had awakened to the existential threat of the crisis.
Andrea doesn't just want to deliver – she has delivered. She expanded paid family leave, reduced the high cost of prescription drugs, championed farmworkers, and led the fight for Oregon's groundbreaking law protecting the right to abortion.
Andrea will make history as Oregon's first Latina member of Congress. She's a working-class warrior and a tenacious leader – and that's exactly the kind of person we need in Congress.
Andrea's race is going to come down to the wire. Polls show her leading by two points or less. And with Mike Erickson spending millions, we need to do all we can to win this election and expand our Democratic majority.
