Growing up in an economically disadvantaged neighborhood, Salud shares a passion for improving the lives of at-risk youth. In Congress he is fighting for opportunity and security for middle-class families and to protect the unique communities of his district.

A LEADER FOR CALIFORNIA 

Salud’s unwavering dedication to being a community leader has led him to the steps of Congress and continues to fuel his drive for being an advocate for those who are often left out of the conversation. Salud sits on the House Committee on Armed Services, the House Committee on Agriculture, and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, where he serves as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation. The Congressman has used his role as the Vice Chair on the House Committee of Transportation and Infrastructure to create jobs by securing investments in the nation’s crumbling infrastructure and rebuilding areas damaged by natural disasters. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, Salud has offered amendments in the National Defense Authorization Act that would direct the Department of Defense to research the effects of climate change on military operations, develop educational partnerships between the Department of Defense and local colleges, and ensure female service members have adequate body armor suited to fit their needs.
