Chapter 1 – Congressman Mike Garcia Votes Against Bipartisan Measure to Support Small Businesses, Campaigns For Trump-GOP While Ignoring CA-25 and Silent on Trump Fomenting Violence for a Photo-Op
Last week, Congressman Mike Garcia revealed his true self. Garcia’s not only a full-time Trump supporter but he’s now officially a ruby red rubberstamp on behalf of Trump and the House GOP after he voted against a bipartisan measure to support Southern California small businesses by bringing greater transparency to the SBA’s PPP loan program. There were 38 other House Republicans who joined in to support this common-sense bipartisan measure to better support our small business during this time of economic crisis, but Mike Garcia was not one of them.
Garcia sits in a purple district that expects bipartisan problem solvers to deliver, but he refused to work across the aisle. Garcia’s arch-conservative ways should surprise no one, as Mike Garcia campaigned saying the noted obstructionist and Trump lackey, Rep. Jim Jordan, was his “legislative role model.”
Now, Mike Garcia is not only showing the voters to what degree he is a legislative rubberstamp for Trump and the House GOP, but he’s now spending his time campaigning for the President on Trump TV, while completely staying silent as to whether he supports Trump’s use of force against peaceful protestors in order for Trump to stage a photo op.
Statement from DCCC Spokesperson Andy Orellana:
“It’s clear that Mike Garcia is not only ignoring the needs of his district and its small business communities, but he still thinks he’s campaigning to be the House GOP and Trump’s Congressional trophy boy. Garcia has gone Washington and is too smitten with his new friends in DC – like Trump, McCarthy and Jim Jordan – to remember who he’s working for – the voters of CA-25.”
