Today, the DCCC launched its first Spanish language TV and radio ads ahead of the general election in California’s 25th Congressional District. The ads, titled “Report Card,” highlight Garcia’s record of voting with Trump almost ninety percent of the time and call him out for voting against the expansion of childcare to help working families during the pandemic, and for his support of the Republican lawsuit to repeal the ACA, which protects people with pre-existing conditions.
It’s clear that for Mike Garcia, politics is more important than the needs of Southern California families. While Southern California families struggle in midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike Garcia has gone out of his way to hurt them by voting against them every step of the way and he has his record of voting with Trump almost ninety percent of the time to prove it.
In addition to “Report Card,” the DCCC also launched “Fend” today in CA-25, an English language TV ad which highlights Mike Garcia’s out of touch record as a politician who supports giving out tax breaks to corporate executives and millionaires.

Statement from DCCC Spokesperson Fabiola Rodriguez:
“As Southern California families grapple with the deadliest pandemic in recent history, they need a leader who will fight for them in Congress, not Mike Garcia who voted to gut their healthcare and with Trump ninety percent of the time. Make no mistake, come November, Southern California families will remember that Mike Garcia failed them and his short stint as Congressman will come to an end.”
