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.

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!

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! 💪

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

Farm workers and farm labor are vital to our nation’s food security. With no one to harvest ripened crops in a timely fashion, they ultimately rot in the fields. In short, the outcome of ICE raids on farm workers is higher grocery prices and less available food for Americans.

Photo of text from linked article: BAD FOR BUSINESS Most economists and politicians acknowledge that many of America’s agricultural workers are in the country illegally, but say a sharp reduction in their numbers could have devastating impacts on the food supply chain and farm-belt economies. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican and former director of the Congressional Budget Office, said an estimated 80% of farmworkers in the U.S. were foreign-born, with nearly half of them in the country illegally. Losing them will cause price hikes for consumers, he said. “This is bad for supply chains, bad for the agricultural industry,” Holtz-Eakin said. Over a third of U.S. vegetables and over three-quarters of the country’s fruits and nuts are grown in California, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The state’s farms and ranches generated nearly $60 billion in agricultural sales in 2023.

It's incredible how Rep. LaMalfa skipped over the constitutionality of this military action and immediately latched onto its ideological argument.

Congress did not authorize this attack and the President ignored intelligence reports.

Photo of statement from Rep. Doug LaMalfa Facebook account. It states: The President’s decision to carry out a targeted strike on Iranian nuclear sites was the right move. It was necessary, and sent a clear message. No other country has the capability to take out this type of threat. I support President Trump’s decision to take action before it was too late. Iran’s leaders chant “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” as official policy and they mean it. They’ve made it clear that if they ever got their hands on a nuclear weapon, they’d use it on America and Israel. We could not leave major Iranian nuclear sites operational and intact. I hope Iran will take the President’s offer now. They’ve had many chances to give up their weapons ambitions.

LaMalfa's vote for the BBB that includes $75 billion for ICE, guts social safety nets, gifts tax cuts to the rich, and awards $60 billion to his industry, is proof positive that Doug LaMalfa doesn't care about the needs of his constituents so long as he and his wealthy friends are making money.

LaMalfa Applauds House Passage of Budget Reconciliation Package May 22, 2025 Press Release Washington, D.C.—Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) released the following statement after the House passed the budget reconciliation package. “This bill is the course correction we desperately needed. For years, taxpayers have been footing the bill for wasteful programs, unchecked spending, and handouts to people gaming the system,” said Rep. LaMalfa. “It delivers a significant tax cut, providing relief for working families and much needed reforms to government spending. It starts the process of eliminating fraud in programs like Medicaid and SNAP. It also includes major wins for folks in the West, allocating $2 billion to expand water storage, and much needed funding for the Secure Rural Schools program. It’s a big win across the board, and I’m happy to see the House pass this crucial piece of legislation.” Background: Tax Relief for Working Americans: Delivers significant tax cuts, cutting tax bills by about 15% for Americans earning $30,000–$80,000. No tax on tips or overtime. Medicaid and SNAP Reform: Ends benefits for 1.4 million illegal immigrants and restores work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving assistance. Support for Farmers: Strengthens crop insurance and conservation tools without adding red tape. Water Storage Expansion: Includes $2 billion to upgrade and expand Bureau of Reclamation surface water storage, helping the West store more water in wet years. Secure Rural Schools: Provides a 3-year reauthorization of SRS to support education in rural areas with large amounts of federal land. Energy and Resource Development: Repeals Green New Deal-style handouts and boosts American oil, gas, and mineral production. Border Security and Immigration Enforcement: Fully funds Trump’s border wall, ramps up deportations, and hires thousands of new ICE and Border Patrol agents. Congressman Doug LaMalfa is Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and a...

Today's No Kings Protest in Marysville had incredible energy and community spirit. I enjoyed hearing the concerns of residents from both Yuba and Sutter Counties and am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you to the @yubadems.bsky.social for hosting an amazing event!
Large crowd of protestors at the No Kings Protest in Marysville, CA. Many people have signs and flags. In the foreground, Jim Salegui is speaking with community members. Several people are also sitting on the grass or in lawn chairs. It's a beautiful sunny day in a public park with lush grass and trees.

To be clear, the Judiciary defines one of the Committee's central responsibilities as "Oversight of the immigration functions of the Department of Homeland Security."
Photo of text from US Senate Committee on the Judiciary's website. The text reads as follows: Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration Jurisdiction: (1) Immigration, citizenship, and refugee laws; (2) Oversight of the immigration functions of the Department of Homeland Security, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Ombudsman Citizenship and Immigration Services; (3) Oversight of the immigration-related functions of the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, and the Department of Labor; (4) Oversight of international migration, internally displaced persons, and refugee laws and policy; and (5) Private immigration relief bills.

In light of this ruling, the forcible removal of Senator Alex Padilla, the ranking member of the Judiciary's Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety, from a Department of Homeland Security press conference was especially egregious.
Photo of text from Senator Alex Padilla's Official website. The text reads as follows: Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety Senator Padilla is a ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety. The first Latino to chair this subcommittee, he leads the consideration of immigration reform proposals, as well as oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities. Senator Padilla is committed to crafting immigration policies that treat all people with fairness and respect, recognize the importance of immigrant families and communities, and support the success of our economy.

To add some context, if you earned less than $48,000 last year, you will pay $15,000 more in taxes over the next decade. Those making $235,000 or more will save over $120,000 in the same time frame.
This is a bar graph showing Average Annual Change in Resource per Household from 2026 to 2034 published by the Congressional Budget Office on June 12, 2025. The x-axis value is the Household income group by decile, ranging from the 1st decile (the lowest) to the 10th decile (the highest). The y-axis value is the increase or decrease of the average annual change in resources (in 2025 dollars). In the chart, the first deciles will see a decrease in their average household resources of $1,559, the second decile will see a decrease of $749, the third decile will see a decrease of $312, the 4th decile will see an increase of $61, the fifth decile will see an increase of $514, the sixth decile will see an increase of $985, the seventh decile will see an increase of $1,502, the eighth decile will an increase of $2,144, the ninth decile will see an increase of $3,275, and the tenth decile will see an increase in their average household resources of $12,044.

The undocumented create a positive revenue stream for the economy; not only do they purchase goods and services in their local communities, they also pay federal, state, and local taxes through use of an ITIN.
