Salud Ortiz Carbajal[3] (/səˈluːd ˈkɑːrbəhɑːl/ sə-LOOD KAR-bə-hahl; born November 18, 1964) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for California's 24th congressional district since 2017.
Carbajal was born in Moroleón, Mexico, in 1964[4][5] and immigrated to the United States, initially to Arizona,[6] later settling in Oxnard, California, with his family, where his father was a farmworker.
[20] For the 118th Congress:[21] Carbajal opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade, calling it a "betrayal to our Constitution and...millions of women who count on its protections to retain control of their own body and choices.
Several rallies were held in his district to condemn his position, including in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura.
[37] While stating he was "vehemently opposed" to the provisions which banned gender-affirming care for transgender children in the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, Carbajal still voted yes to pass the bill.
