  • From Childhood Challenges to City Hall, Pt. 1 with Mayor Jason Salamun – Ep. 72

    From Childhood Challenges to City Hall, Pt. 1 with Mayor Jason Salamun – Ep. 72
    Jun 11 2025

    No “silver spoon” to speak of in this politician’s background. No – Jason Salamun, now Mayor Salamun, was born in West Texas to teen parents, including a mother who struggled with addiction. His childhood was fraught with instability. But his grandparents were a “lifeline,” and a combination of their love and a new life with his father in South Dakota changed everything. Mayor Salamun escaped a challenging childhood and eventually reached city hall. We hear more about his tumultuous youth and the move that made all the difference in the first of a two-part conversation with the mayor on The Escape Pod.
