On March 18, 2025, Salinas expressed concerns over potential job cuts at Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), warning that such actions could destabilize Oregon's power grid by leading to blackouts and increased costs for residents.

Job cuts at BPA could destabilize our power grid, leading to blackouts & higher costs for Oregonians. I joined my Oregon colleagues in calling out the Administration's reckless actions."
