Congressman Carbajal re-elected to fifth term in Congress
Representative Salud Carbajal.
‘Do not lose hope, do not be discouraged, and do not disengage,’ says congressman ‘Our nation needs you now more than ever’
– Congressman Salud Carbajal (D, Santa Barbara) released the following statement following his projected victory in the 2024 election for California’s 24th Congressional District:
“I am humbled by the overwhelming support of Central Coast voters in this election. It will be my privilege to continue my service in Congress and to keep working every single day with anyone to advance policies that will improve the quality of life for our working families, small businesses, and communities up and down the Central Coast.
“While there are votes remaining to be counted, I am saddened to see the incredible and inspiring presidential campaign that I was proud to be a part of come up short. I am reminded, however, that we have been here before.
“I was elected alongside Donald Trump eight years ago, and served on the front lines of fighting back against his extremist policies from my seat in Congress. We have stood up to his radical views before, and I am prepared to do so again in this coming term. I know how much is at stake if we do not fight every single day to deny the vision that Donald Trump and his Project 2025 have laid out for our country.
“Thousands of Central Coast volunteers worked day and night to make every voice heard in this election. To them I say this: do not lose hope, do not be discouraged, and do not disengage. Our nation needs you now more than ever.”
