hood river city council president

As the first Latina elected official in my community, I know how powerful representation truly is. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Jessica for Congress. She’s working to become the first Latina in District 3 to congress — and that matters. Lived experience shapes policy. Perspective shapes priorities. And diversity in leadership strengthens democracy. Jessica has been an attentive listener, a people-first leader, and a voice for working families who too often feel unheard. She understands that real change starts with community, not special interests. It’s time Oregon’s congressional delegation reflects the strength, resilience, and diversity of our communities.

Jessica takes the time to listen to individuals in order to understand and address the large range of critical challenges facing diverse groups of Oregonians in the 3rd district. Her empathetic and agile approach to combatting the issues threatening the health of our democracy is sorely needed in order for the Democratic Party to be efficient and effective going forward. We need dedicated progressive leadership in Washington in 2027 and Jessica is ready to fight for us.

I endorse Jessica Salas for Congress because she walks her talk, and will represent us, the working class, in Washington. She is a true grassroots progressive, in touch with her constituents and their values and needs. She is out there on the ground, doing the work to fight for what she believes in, and will continue to do this in Washington. I’m ready to vote for someone who has my and my neighbors’ back, not someone who will just keep feeding this corrupt, broken system. It’s time for real change, and Jessica is that change.

rejecting aipac candidate

We are proud to endorse Jessica Salas for Congress in Oregon's 3rd Congressional District!! Rep. Maxine Dexter’s tenure began in secrecy and betrayal. She was propelled into office by a hidden pipeline of AIPAC money funneled through dark money networks, a fact she has never publicly reckoned with. Now in Congress, she offers tepid criticism of Israel instead of forcefully applying the internal pressure needed to shift the tide in Congress and end U.S. complicity in genocide. Jessica Salas represents the integrity Oregon deserves. She is running a transparent campaign free from the corrupting influence of AIPAC and the Israel lobby. She speaks with the moral clarity that Dexter lacks, unequivocally condemning the genocide in Gaza and demanding an immediate end to all military aid to Israel. The choice for voters is clear: a representative beholden to secret donors and empty gestures, or the principled leader who will fight for human rights without apology.

courage candidate

Jessica is fighting for the people — not corporate interests. She’s a proud Latina, union member, and community advocate who knows what it’s like to struggle and still show up for others. Her platform centers on Medicare for All, housing as a human right, climate justice, workers’ rights, and reproductive freedom. Jessica believes in building a future where every Oregonian has access to healthcare, affordable housing, and a livable planet — no exceptions. It’s time for real representation — by and for the people.

portlander of the year: og anti fascist frog

I want leadership that will fight alongside us against the rising fascism in this country. It's why Jessica is the only option for Oregon 3rd Congressional district. Rep. Dexter not only takes money from AIPAC but has stood firm in her belief that there are some good ICE agents. Lemme reassure you there are no good fascist gestapo. So, this May vote Maxine out. Vote for Jessica Salas. Someone that will actually have our back against fascism.

Hood river Chair of city planning commission & chair of urban renewal advisory committee

Oregonians need progressive, leftist candidates with policies that protect and enhance our rights and quality of life - Jessica Salas is that candidate. We have waited too long for representatives who understand a community is only as strong as our weakest citizen, and who have the guts to try new things to reach our goals. Jessica is unafraid to champion necessary changes like taxing extreme wealth, banning stock trading for congress, providing affordable healthcare for all, free childcare, and a host of other policies that support the working class, immigrants, marginalized communities, and our unhoused neighbors. I think Jessica Salas has what it takes to help us achieve a more just and equitable future, and she has my vote.
