Image of campaign statement from Jim Salegui for Congress Text reads: November 17, 2025 With the passage of Prop 50 my home county, Siskiyou, changes from District 1 to 2 in the upcoming election cycle. I strongly believe a representative should live where they serve and cannot in good conscience continue to campaign for a district in which I will no longer reside. As such, I am officially suspending my Congressional campaign. This journey has been humbling, and I am truly grateful to all who have supported me along the way. My experience has facilitated immense personal growth, ignited a fire to serve The People, and I am a better person because of it. While my campaign is coming to an end, my commitment to our communities continues.

I was happy to support @seiu2015.bsky.social's efforts at our Board of Supervisors meeting. IHSS workers are in dire need of a wage that reflects the rising cost of living. Without these workers recipients would lose access to care or be forced into a skilled nursing facility at four times the cost.

Today, home care workers across Siskiyou County stood together at the Board of Supervisors meeting. Siskiyou is the only California county still paying home care workers minimum wage. We’re calling on Siskiyou Supervisors to address the long-term care crisis by raising the IHSS wage.

The California Democratic Party is organizing multiple Yes on Prop 50! community canvassing events on several dates leading up to the special election. This is a great way to get involved and support the cause!

I'm greatful for the leadership displayed by @khanna.house.gov Rep. Massie in support of these courageous women. They have begun the difficult task of demanding transparency. We must work together to ensure accountability and justice follow.

This Labor Day, I am grateful for the workers who gave their lives to establish better working conditions and rights for future generations.

With the National Labor Relations Board in jeopardy, we must work together to support our labor unions! 💪

We need to strengthen and protect the right to #vote, which includes strengthening & protecting the #USPS.

Photo of Tweet from Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro It reads: President Trump can sign whatever executive order he wants to sign - but it won't change the Constitution. And according to our Constitution, the authority to set our election rules belongs to the states. We will protect mail in ballots in Pennsylvania.

Image of text that reads: I am strongly in support of Governor Newsom's effort to redistrict California in response to Republican efforts to gerrymander the next election. While I agree that mid-decade redistricting as well as gerrymandering are both extremely problematic, our democracy is on the line and as the most populated state in the union, California has a duty to fight in defense of The People. Authoritarianism is a clear and present danger to our citizens and the nation as a whole and we must do everything we can to resist. I especially appreciate the representatives that vote in favor of this action even at the expense of their next election. Jim Salegui for Congress

Take a listen and let this be an example of how to use your voice and standing.

We've had an eventful week with a trolling Newsom, a defiant sandwich sling, welcoming a war criminal, & a rattled LaMalfa, but it still wasn't enough to forget the Epstein files!

Regardless of CA maps, I am committed to securing districts, serving The People, and defending our democracy.

Saturday is the biggest event of the year in Plumas Lake…the annual block party!

Come out to Eufay Wood Park between 3:30pm & 9:00pm for music, food, vendors, kids activities, cornhole, a beer garden, and more.

I’ll be pouring beer from 3:30-7:30 so stop by and say hello.

The People must realize that

MSM outlets profit off your outrage & fear

Russian troll farms are designed to sow discord such that you see the opposite view point as unhinged & unreachable

Americans have more commonalities than differences

Extremists are the outliers

The release of 2nd quarter's GDP data, combined with the May, June, and July #jobs reports indicate that the US is on the cusp of a #recession.

It's always more difficult to organize when you're in survival mode, but we must continue to #resist.

The primary job of a Representative is to listen to your constituents, develop solutions, and advocate for their best interests.

It's simple for those of us with a moral compass.

250 years! We all got our birthday pins on 🎉

SpongeBob stamps will be available starting August 1st! Ask your local PO clerk about signing up for the Philatelic so you can see all stamps and accessories USPS has for sale. Definitely one of the best ways to help keep your local PO open 😉
