Andrea Salinas, the current U.S. Representative, is 55 years old. Her challenger, Mike Erickson, is 61 years old and is the founder and CEO of AFMS, a supply chain and logistics consulting firm. Both candidates bring extensive experience from their respective fields to the race.
The current composition of the United States House of Representatives stands at 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, and 3 vacancies. In Oregon's 6th District, the demographic makeup is 69% Non-Hispanic White, 21% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 2% Black, and 2% Native American. Historically, the district has shown a competitive edge. In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won the district by a margin of 13%, suggesting a leaning towards the Democratic party at that time. However, in the 2022 House election, the Democratic victory margin was significantly narrower at 2%, indicating a competitive race. This race is not expected to be competitive.
