| Today, the DCCC announced that Johnny Garcia has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Garcia, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for Texas’ 35th Congressional District.
“Johnny Garcia has dedicated his career to investing in San Antonio, and is ready to answer the call to serve his community in Congress. Texans are eager to elect a leader that will put the needs of hardworking families first, and Johnny is ready to step up to the plate and keep TX-35 in Democratic hands,” said DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene.
A San Antonio native, Johnny Garcia has spent his life serving his community. From working in construction to a career as local Sheriff’s Deputy for Bexar County, Johnny has dedicated his life to investing in his community — building a career rooted on transparency and service. Johnny’s mission is simple: delivering real solutions for the working families of TX-35. Throughout his career in law enforcement, Johnny learned the importance of putting community over partisan labels, ensuring that the needs of Texans are put first, no matter their party. Under the district’s new lines, Beto O’Rourke came within half a point of winning the district in 2018, the last midterm election during a Trump Administration. As Democrats continue to overperform across Texas, Johnny is ready to build on that momentum and make sure the voices of everyday Texans are heard.
In an environment that is increasingly unfriendly to Republicans and with a Democratic candidate in Johnny Garcia that is uniquely positioned to bring these voters home, there is a clear path to keep this seat in Democratic hands in November.
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, fundraising support, and more. |
