Committee Assignments

Why this matters: committee seats are where legislative influence actually happens -- they are frequently the direct explanation for which industries and interest groups direct money toward a given member.

Timeline

Who This Is

Salud O. Carbajal, a Democrat representing California’s 24th House district since 2017, serves on the Armed Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Agriculture committees. This profile details the sources of his campaign financing, separating direct organizational contributions from independent‑expenditure spending. Direct contributions total $656,711.32, while supporting independent expenditures add $37,163.22, giving a combined support figure of $693,874.54. Opposing independent expenditures are minimal at $157.29.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor is the Santa Barbara County Registrar of Voters with $5,214.67, followed by Edison International PAC, Airports Council International‑North America PAC, With Honor PAC and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association RockPAC, each donating $5,000. Edison International PAC represents the electric utility sector, Airports Council International‑North America PAC reflects the aviation industry, and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association RockPAC is tied to construction materials. Among independent‑expenditure groups, With Honor Fund II, Inc. spent $8,881.47 supporting Carbajal, and Support Our Firefighters and Paramedics PAC contributed a total of $5,738.36 in support through multiple filings. No significant independent expenditures opposed his candidacy, with only $157.29 recorded.

Funding Pattern

Carbajal’s committee work on Transportation and Infrastructure aligns with contributions from aviation and construction‑related donors such as Airports Council International‑North America PAC and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association, sectors that benefit from federal infrastructure funding. His role on the Armed Services Committee coincides with support from With Honor Fund II, a group that typically backs candidates favorable to defense and veteran issues. The energy utility sector is represented by Edison International PAC, which may have an interest in policies overseen by the Transportation Committee’s Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee. Independent‑expenditure activity in his race was modest, with no major opposing super‑PAC spending reported. Because no recent votes on tracked legislation are available, no direct vote‑based correlation with donor interests can be demonstrated at this time.
