Oregon Appeals Court finds no legal wrongdoing in Salinas’ anti-Erickson advertisement


The Oregon Court of Appeals recently ruled that Democratic congresswoman, Andrea Salinas, did not violate the law with an ad claiming her Republican opponent, Mike Erickson, faced felony drug possession charges. The court found that the ad could be interpreted as true by a reasonable person. Salinas defeated Erickson in both the 2022 and 2024 elections. Erickson had sued Salinas for $800,000 for running ads refuting her claims. A judge initially ruled in favor of Erickson, but Salinas appealed under Oregon’s anti-SLAPP law, which protects political speech. The appellate judges ultimately agreed with Salinas, stating that the ad could be seen as factually correct based on police documents and a release agreement signed by Erickson. Salinas’ attorney praised the decision as important for protecting political speech in Oregon. Salinas declined to comment further on the case, while Erickson’s attorney did not respond to requests for comment. This ruling highlights the importance of free speech in political campaigns and the legal protections in place for campaign statements in Oregon.
