Andrea Salinas
Salinas’s issues page backs “halting the transfer of offensive military weaponry and equipment to the current Israeli government”. Voting to cut $3.3 billion in 2026, she said Israel “has not demonstrated that they would use this military equipment responsibly”. In August 2026 she co-led 63 Democrats pressing on Gaza peace.
Salinas has represented Oregon’s 6th District since 2023. Her six recorded votes appear as badges on this card: Yes on the April 2024 supplemental, No on the other three aid measures, No on the amendment to cut $500 million for Israeli missile-defense programs, Yes on the 2026 amendment to cut $3.3 billion from aid to Israel.
Her official foreign-affairs page carries her standing position: support for "halting the transfer of offensive military weaponry and equipment to the current Israeli government", because "U.S. taxpayers should not be responsible for funding weapons that have been used to kill civilians seeking medical care and food", alongside affirmation of Israel’s right to defend itself, a ceasefire with hostage release, "the complete dismantling of Hamas’ governing power in Gaza", and a negotiated two-state solution. Explaining her July 2026 cutting vote: Israel "has not demonstrated that they would use this military equipment responsibly with the U.S. interest to find a durable peace in the region."
In April 2024 she backed the security-assistance package for allies including Israel with Gaza humanitarian aid included. In August 2026 she and Rep. Kweisi Mfume led 63 colleagues pressing the administration on its Gaza peace plan after strikes threatened the disarmament agreement.
