Andrea Salinas to blame for car theft epidemic: stats

March 28, 2023

As a car theft epidemic sweeps Oregon, Andrea Salinas has made it worse.

  • The Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan area ranked fifth worst in the U.S. for car theft (FOX 12)
  • Salem ranked “among the worst cities in the country for auto theft” (24/7 Wall St)
  • Car theft in Salem in 2022 spiked 54 percent above the average level (Salem Police)

Many of the stolen cars end up at “tent-city chop shops.” Salinas backed this extreme lawlessness when she voted to allow homeless people to camp on public property and voted to make it harder for local governments to dismantle camps. 

Meanwhile, “Portland’s police force has been gutted” by Salinas’ extremist allies who defunded the police.

“Car theft victims can blame Andrea Salinas, who refuses to stop the crime and chaos surging in Oregon.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
