The following day, Carbajal addressed an emergency situation involving offshore infrastructure in his district. On May 11 he wrote: “My office is closely monitoring reports of a fire on Platform Habitat, and we are in active communication with the U.S. Coast Guard to assess the situation. Commercial and recreational vessels in the Santa Barbara Channel should stay alert and follow all guidance from local”.
Later that same day, Carbajal commented on federal spending under former President Donald Trump, voicing support for legislative action regarding military engagement abroad: “While Trump spends billions of dollars of taxpayer money on his illegal war, the cost of everyday essentials continues to skyrocket.
