Huffman’s environmental record, coastal donor base raise questions as Prop 50 redraw places rural North State under Marin Democrat’s authority
A congressman whose career was built opposing rural water infrastructure and who is currently using his committee authority to block federal efforts to save a century-old dam system serving 750,000 people will soon represent Siskiyou County in the U.S. House of Representatives — whether the county likes it or not.
Rep. Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) has represented California’s 2nd Congressional District since 2013, operating out of Marin County, one of the wealthiest and most politically progressive counties in the state. Under the Prop 50 redistricting maps passed by California voters in November 2025 — opposed by 62.5% of Siskiyou County voters — Siskiyou, Modoc, and Shasta counties will shift into Huffman’s district beginning with the 2026 election.
