Congresswoman Salinas Appointed to House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology

Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (D-Tigard) issued the following statement after being appointed to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

“From computer chips to clean energy, Oregon is a hub of innovation and progress, and a focal point for oceanic and atmospheric research. All our lives are touched by science and technology — which is why the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology’s work is so vital. And why I’m so proud to have been appointed to serve on this important body.

“We are living in unprecedented times — but, in these times of uncertainty, science must be a grounding force. At its core, science represents opportunity: The opportunity to change lives, solve problems, and make our world a better place. The decisions we make today will impact the lives and livelihoods of our children’s tomorrow. And I so look forward to bringing Oregonians into the room where those decisions are being made.”
