Rep. Salud Carbajal sworn in for fifth term representing Central Coast
Congressman Carbajal was first elected to Congress in 2016
– On Thursday, Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) was sworn in as U.S. Representative from California’s 24th Congressional District for the 119th Congress, beginning his fifth term representing the Central Coast in Congress.
“As someone who grew up, got his first job and a great education, and started a family on the Central Coast, I am deeply grateful to continue working on its behalf in Congress,” said Rep. Carbajal.
“There are a vast array of challenges facing our families and the communities they call home – from rising costs of living to national threats like climate change, gun violence, and far-right extremism targeting our basic civil rights. On these and many other issues, I pledge to work with anyone to advance solutions for these challenges and raise the quality of life for every resident of the Central Coast.”
In his previous term, he helped create new laws to combat chemical contamination of groundwater near Central Coast airports, improve transparency in military housing for military families, boost federal response to the fentanyl crisis, and improve cybersecurity of American nuclear systems.
He also oversaw more than $1.4 billion in federal grants awarded to the region in the past year, according to USASpending.gov. More than 1,300 Central Coast families also worked with Rep. Carbajal’s office to resolve issues with federal agencies in the past year.
Congressman Carbajal, first elected to Congress in 2016, has called the Central Coast home for more than 40 years. He is an alumnus of UC Santa Barbara and Fielding University, and prior to his federal service served 12 years on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.
Rep. Salud Carbajal represents California’s 24th Congressional District, encompassing Santa Barbara County and portions of San Luis Obispo County and Ventura County.
