Voters in CA-25 deserve better than a hypocrite who votes against his own community
Vulnerable Republican Rep. Mike Garcia once again voted “no” and took the dough by voting against the landmark INVEST Act, which contains critical investments in infrastructure and job creation, including millions directly for Rep. Garcia’s district at his own request.
Take a look at where the investments that Rep. Garcia voted against will be headed:
- $8.67 million for Plant 42 Access and Safety Enhancements in Palmdale
- $3.67 million for the Quick Fix Circulation Improvement Project in Santa Clarita
- $4 million for the Sequoia Ave. Railroad Grade Crossing Upgrade in Simi Valley
When Rep. Garcia is home in the district this recess, don’t be surprised if he spends time touting the very investments he voted against. Just like when Rep. Garcia voted against direct relief funds for his community in the American Rescue Plan, he voted no, but was all too happy to take the dough.
“Rep. Garcia is so out-of-touch with his district that he is repeatedly voting against needed investments in his community in an attempt to score cheap political points,” said DCCC Spokesperson Adrian Eng-Gastelum. “Families in California’s 25th district have Democrats to thank for the good-paying jobs and much-needed infrastructure investments headed their way — not Rep. Garcia, who stood against them when it counted.”
