The President took taxpayer money meant to fight drug trafficking, strengthen border security, and honor fallen law enforcement — and instead spent it on campaign ads. This administration's corruption has no ceiling.

The San Pedro Basin has long been the site of an underwater toxic waste dump. I was proud to partner with @padilla.senate.gov on this bill to confront DDT contamination off our coast. Read more about it here: www.latimes.com/environment/...

An incompetent move by an incompetent Secretary of Defense. In what world does cutting experienced leaders from the Pentagon benefit our military preparedness, national security, or the chain of command? www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

63 days. 63 opportunities to vote on issues the Central Coast cares about. 63 excuses by House Republicans. The people deserve an active and productive House, clearly Speaker Mike Johnson thinks otherwise.

Gun violence impacts our nation every day, and I stand with Moms Demand Action to combat this crisis through practical legislation and safe storage practices. I’ll keep fighting for common-sense solutions that keep our communities safe.

On the Central Coast, we know what wind energy can deliver: quality jobs, local manufacturing growth, and energy security. Despite these benefits, the Trump administration is using taxpayer dollars to incentivize companies to cancel wind projects in favor of fossil fuels.

The White House's decision to ban select news outlets is a dangerous attack on free speech. The American people deserve access to free and independent press — no matter which party is in office.

I was honored to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Patterson Point Apartments in Goleta. While there is still so much work to do to tackle the homelessness crisis, this housing development is tangible evidence that practical community investments can lead to results.

For too long, we've seen hyper-partisan redistricting polarize the country — eroding the bipartisan cooperation we need to solve our nation's toughest challenges. Enough is enough.

This week, I signed the second discharge petition to release the Epstein Files. It's a shame Trump’s DOJ withheld millions of documents, denying survivors and the American people the transparency they deserve.

House Republican leaders are sending us home early to avoid the vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth. As I've said before, Hegseth is absolutely incompetent and needs to get the hell out of the Pentagon.

In 200 days of illegal war with Iran, Trump has: ✅ raised inflation ✅ spent $40 billion of taxpayer money ✅ increased gas and diesel costs to record highs ✅ endangered countless U.S. servicemembers And we're supposed to believe this is benefitting America? I don't think so.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's proposed restrictions to mail-in ballots — a victory for voting rights. Today, on #NationalVoterRegistrationDay we recognize the importance of the freedom to decide the future of your community.

Rep. Salud Carbajal @carbajal.house.gov · 15/09/2026

Shifting the blame to a former president who has not been in office for almost two years is beyond ridiculous. Mr. President, take responsibility for an illegal war that has driven up gas prices for Americans.

32 years ago, the first and only federal assault weapons ban was signed into law. In 2004, that ban expired and has not been reinstated.

I was proud to have secured federal dollars for the Santa Barbara District Attorney's Sexual Assault Response Team project. With these funds, the DA's office will work with Cottage Hospital to ensure survivors have a safe and supportive environment as they get the care and resources they need.

September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. For far too many of us, myself included, suicide is personal. I lost my sister to suicide when I was 12 years old. Today is a reminder that you are never alone, and support is available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Hotline. 🩵

Trump has made $15.5 million from oil and gas stocks since the start of his illegal war with Iran. It's no surprise Republicans are pushing to pass a congressional stock trading ban that conveniently excludes the President. This is an "anti-corruption" bill with a Trump-sized loophole.

Today we honor the American labor movement and recommit ourselves to building an economy that works for everyone. Happy Labor Day!

Thank you to everyone who joined my telephone town hall last night! I was grateful to chat with so many community members from across the Central Coast — from Morro Bay to Ventura.

One year of illegal boat strikes without congressional approval, transparency, or justification. Secretary Hegseth has some explaining to do.

Rep. Salud Carbajal @carbajal.house.gov · 01/09/2026

Trump's goal is to silence voters, plain and simple. He knows his party's approval rating is tanking and he's scrambling to sow chaos in our elections in the eleventh hour.

Hey Central Coast, I'll be hosting a telephone town hall this Wednesday at 5:00 PM PT! Head to carbajal.house.gov/townhall/ to pre-submit your questions. I hope you'll join the conversation! The dial‑in number will be posted on my website two hours before the call starts.

I met with Los Padres National Forest leadership to hear about wildfire response strategies, infrastructure needs, and challenges with staffing and employee housing. The Los Padres team is on the ground caring for our public lands, and they need stronger federal support to do it well.

Trump's latest gimmick: flooding our markets with foreign beef to distract from the economic damage he's caused to American families. Undercutting American ranchers while they are struggling to make ends meet is terrible policy. So much for "America First."

Dolly Parton was an incredible artist, philanthropist, and pop culture legend. From advocating for women's rights to improving access to early education, she was a positive force who will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and fans. May she rest in peace.

I stopped by CommUnify’s Head Start to meet with educators and see firsthand how they’re preparing children for success and connecting families with critical health, nutrition, and education support.

The Trump Administration is moving to eliminate the Roadless Rule, which would gut protections for nearly 60 million acres of public land. Once these protections are gone, they won't be easy to restore.

Despite credible reports of worsening conditions from USS Abraham Lincoln sailors after 250+ days at sea, the President apparently thinks that's "not long enough." That's why I'm calling for answers and transparency from Secretary Hegseth. Our service members deserve better.

106 years ago, the 19th amendment was ratified — finally granting women the right to vote. Today, we remember the generations of women who fought for this right while recognizing there is still progress to be made to protect voting rights.

This is what smart federal investment looks like: turning tax dollars into safer travel and a stronger local economy. I was proud to secure $1.3 million for critical upgrades to the Santa Barbara Airport.

Investments in our water infrastructure go far beyond replacing pipes and pumps — it represents a commitment to our public health, local businesses, and long-term success of our communities. Proud to have secured $1 million in federal funding to modernize Solvang’s wastewater system.

California has the right to protect its local environment from big polluters. I urge the Senate to block the Hunt amendment from this year’s defense policy bill.

Rolling back commonsense policies that protected endangered species for 50 years is shameful. Weakening these protections will put wildlife at risk across the country, including local species such as the southern California steelhead trout. www.independent.com/2026/07/30/t...
