| Yesterday, Mike Garcia voted against the annual National Defense Authorization Act — opposing significant bipartisan investments into our nation’s military, including a pay raise for service members, and siding with a few of his far-right Freedom Caucus friends instead.
No thanks to Rep. Mike Garcia, this year’s legislation:
- Raises service member pay by 5.2%, the largest bump in 20 years.
- Invests in child care, housing, and health care.
- Bolsters education and child development for military families.
- Improves readiness and spurs modernization efforts.
- Invest in our allies and our relationships abroad.
With his vote, Mike Garcia failed service members and their families across California.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“Mike Garcia, for whatever reason, just voted against a pay raise for California’s service men and women, against military families’ housing and child care, and against the best interests of ourselves and our allies. While House Democrats once again stepped up and delivered a bipartisan defense bill, Garcia couldn’t be bothered to vote out of step with his Freedom Caucus friends. Voters are fed up with this useless brand of hyper-partisan politics, and will send Mike Garcia packing next November.” |
