Bio Salud Carbajal is a Marine veteran and a reliable defense hawk for a California Democrat. His Armed Services seat gives him a direct voice on Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (the U.S. program that supplies weapons to Ukraine) funding.
Ukraine Record
- Voted yes on every Ukraine aid package.
- Has made floor statements supporting Ukraine and met with Ukrainian delegations.
- Armed Services Committee role makes him a quiet but important advocate.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use his Armed Services seat to protect and expand the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, and sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
- Why it works with them: As a Marine, he understands deterrence and alliance commitments. The message that Ukraine's fight prevents a wider war resonates.
- Your connection: If you are a Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo constituent, tell him Ukrainian American families on the Central Coast are counting on his Armed Services voice.
- Avoid: Don't treat him as a fence-sitter. Thank him for past votes and ask for the next action.
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
