Washington,
July 24, 2025
U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24) released the statement below following House passage of bipartisan legislation to strengthen, support, and authorize funding through 2029 for the United States Coast Guard and its critical missions to safeguard the nation’s shorelines, facilitate maritime commerce, ensure maritime safety, and more. Carbajal is the top Democrat on the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, which has jurisdiction over the U.S. Coast Guard, including its duties, organization, functions, and powers. “Every single day, the Coast Guard goes to work to protect seafarers and beachgoers, and reinforce our national defense. As the top Democrat on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee, I’m proud this bipartisan bill is moving forward. The legislation will deliver critical resources for the Coast Guard to carry out its missions, modernize infrastructure and safety systems, and enhance quality of life for our Coasties. Just as importantly, it renews our shared commitment to holding the service accountable for meaningful reforms to root out sexual assault and harassment from its ranks,” said Subcommittee Ranking Member Carbajal. The bill now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration. |
