Carbajal-led Legislation to Protect Coast Guard Cadets, Improve Coast Guard Accountability for Sexual Assault and Harassment Prevention Passed by Bipartisan Committee Vote
“Every single day, the Coast Guard goes to work on the broad range of missions that keep our nation and its citizens safe. They mind the safety of our seas and the security of our waters, protect our seafarers and our beachgoers, and reinforce our national defense,” said Ranking Member Carbajal. “As a veteran and the top Democrat on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee, I’m proud to build on our previous actions taken to protect our servicemembers doing these critical missions by advancing bipartisan legislation aimed at holding the Coast Guard accountable for reforms needed to eliminate sexual assault and sexual harassments from its ranks.”
