U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal, who has represented California’s 24th district in Congress since 2017, recently posted a series of statements on social media addressing national political issues and paying tribute to key figures.
On November 4, 2025, Carbajal criticized former President Donald Trump’s approach to hunger in America. In his post, he wrote: “Read his words: it’s appalling for the President of the United States to see hungry Americans as political pawns. Trump has a legal and moral obligation to ensure no child, senior, or veteran in this country goes hungry.”
Two days later, on November 6, Carbajal expressed appreciation for former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership during critical moments in U.S. history. He stated: “Nancy Pelosi guided the House through some of our nation’s toughest challenges — from the Financial Crisis to the COVID pandemic. Her leadership inspired a new generation of public servants and delivered lasting progress for California and the country. Thank you, Madam Speaker,”
On November 7, Carbajal addressed environmental concerns regarding offshore drilling along California’s coast by joining Senator Alex Padilla in opposition to new oil and gas leases proposed by the Trump administration. He posted: “I joined @SenAlexPadilla in urging the Trump administration to reverse its plans for new offshore oil & gas leases along our coast. The Central Coast won’t stand by while our communities, local marine life, and recreational economy are put at risk.”
Salud Carbajal was born in Moroleón, Guanajuato in 1964 and currently resides in Santa Barbara. Before serving in Congress, he was a member of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors from 2005 to 2017. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a bachelor’s degree in 1990.
