Re-elected Congressman Carbajal Shares To-Do List For Democratic Party

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – Rep. Salud Carbajal talked about winning his re-election campaign and what's next following a night of celebrating with fellow democrats and his former staffer Eric Friedman.

The Congressman scheduled a morning call online to take questions from local journalists.

He spoke about Sable Offshore that has restarted oil and gas production off the Gaviota Coast in Federal waters.

"I intend to use every avalanche tool from committee hearing and subpoena to the appropriations process to combat Trumps corruption and abuse of power such as the forced restart of the Sable pipeline here in my district," said Carbajal.

Members of the Santa Barbara County Republicans don't consider is a wise idea.

"I think using one's pulpit to go after a private company that is operating legally is really a bad look, I mean this company is trying to produce oil here on the Central Coast, do it safely, do it environmentally," said James Fenkner, stocks analyst.

The Congressman, who is a former Marine, also said on Election Night and again today that he would like to work to impeach Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War.

He has questioned Hegseth before.

Carbajal also talked about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He said wants prevent ICE officers from terrorizing local communities.

But, he said a majority of the his focus will be to uplift families struggling with the cost of living.
