What We're Fighting For

Lower Costs. Higher Wages.

Hardworking families are getting squeezed between high rents and high prices for food, medicine, utilities, and other necessities.

Big companies are reporting record profits, but Patty Garcia is advocating for reduced costs, workers' rights, and making the rich pay their due share.

Defend Immigrant Families.

Immigration enforcement is being used to terrorize working-class immigrant communities instead of creating real reform.

She has spoken out against abusive enforcement tactics and believes families deserve dignity, due process, and the ability to live without fear.

100% Pro-Union Investment

Patty is backed by the labor movement because of her commitment to the workers. Infrastructure projects must provide well-paid union employment opportunities as well as tangible benefits to working-class families, rather than simply benefiting corporations.

Patty has successfully brought about federal funding that has made possible various road, transportation, flood control, and water projects within our district.

Healthcare Is a Right

Nobody should be made to declare bankruptcy after becoming ill.

Patty backs Medicare for All to ensure healthcare as a human right, provide access to more healthcare coverage, reduce prescription drug prices, and end medical bills that have become a burden on middle-class families.

Fully Fund Public Schools

Public education should be funded, protected, and accountable to students, parents, and educators — not privatized for profit.

As someone with a Ph.D. in Education Policy, she understands the importance of investing in strong neighborhood schools that serve every child.

Keeping Billionaires Out

Our democracy should not be owned by billionaires, corporations, and interest groups who seek to gain power through bribery.

Peace, Not Endless War

Patty is an advocate for ending all wars, occupation, and U.S. policies that promote violence abroad when working families continue to suffer at home.

Patty supports foreign policy based on diplomacy rather than warfare, international cooperation rather than domination, and respect for human rights, not corporate or military profits.

End the Genocide in Gaza

Patty believes that what the Israeli government has been doing to Palestinians in Gaza through mass murder and starvation is genocide.

Patty rejects the influence of AIPAC and billionaire-funded super PACs that use money and intimidation to silence criticism of Israeli government policy and manipulate American elections.

Climate Action Now

Patty firmly believes that climate change is very much a real and looming danger to our planet that has started to affect communities at the grassroots level through flooding, increased temperatures, pollution, and higher costs of living.

Patty advocates for the strong push towards the adoption of sustainable energy and advanced infrastructure with good-paying union jobs.

Retiring with Dignity

Seniors should have respect, stability, and security having worked hard all their lives.

Patty opposes any plans to reduce funds allocated to Medicare and Social Security and is against privatization of programs which are utilized daily by millions of American seniors.

Seniors should never have to make a choice among their medications, paying rent, buying food, or paying utility bills.
