Congressman Elton Gallegly has represented his neighbors in Congress for 20 years. On November 7, 2006, voters elected him to his 11th term in the U.S. House of Representatives with more than 62 percent of the vote. Even though he returns home virtually every weekend, he has maintained a better than 98 percent voting attendance record during his tenure in Congress.

On the home front, Congressman Gallegly has been the primary leader in saving Naval Base Ventura County from closure and in establishing the Port of Hueneme as the only deepwater port between Los Angeles and San Francisco. He meets regularly with leaders at Vandenberg Air Force Base to discuss projects at the base and how he can facilitate federal funding and continued support for the base.

Congressman Gallegly also has been successful over the years in obtaining federal funding to help citrus growers, nursery growers, and vintners battle the glassy-winged sharpshooter. He has worked hard to protect the health and safety of his constituents through such projects as the Santa Paula Flood Control Project and has pushed relentlessly for a health study of residents near Rocketdyne’s Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
