Rep. Salud Carbajal, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 24th district since 2017, shared a series of tweets on November 16, 2024, highlighting environmental efforts and challenges in the Central Coast region.

In a tweet posted at 01:25:14 UTC, Carbajal acknowledged the efforts of Sue Eisaguirre, founder of NatureTrack. He emphasized that "It takes work to protect our Central Coast environment — and folks like NatureTrack founder Sue Eisaguirre are leading the way." The tweet highlighted the Freedom Trax program which helps wheelchair users experience nature, promoting accessibility to outdoor spaces.

Later in the day at 18:35:14 UTC, Carbajal praised local advocates for their role in preserving open spaces such as Harmon Canyon. He stated, "The Central Coast is lucky to have advocates like Ventura Land Trust working to preserve and enhance our gorgeous open spaces like Harmon Canyon (a great place for a weekend hike with friends)."

In another tweet posted at 18:35:15 UTC, Carbajal expressed readiness to counter potential threats from political administrations that may not prioritize environmental conservation. He remarked, "We know the first Trump Administration was no friend to California's public lands and natural wonders," and affirmed his commitment to defending ecosystems with support from organizations like Ventura Land Trust.
