Fernando Garcia Congress CA53, JRP0102

Fernando Garcia joined us to discuss his candidacy for the US House of Representatives in California’s 53rd district.  Fernando is a resident of Golden Hill, a father, a green entrepreneur, and an Aztec Alum (Criminal Justice). The 53rd district includes eastern portions of Chula Vista, western portions of El Cajon, Hillcrest, Golden Hill, College Area, North Park, Mission Hills, City Heights, Linda Vista, Grantville, Old Town, Kensington, Talmadge, Rolando Village, San Carlos, University Heights, Mission Valley, Normal Heights, Paradise Hills, Serra Mesa, Del Cerro, Allied Gardens, Point Loma, Encanto, South Park, Cortez Hill, as well as eastern suburbs such as Bonita, La Mesa, Lemon Grove and Spring Valley in their entirety. We covered a wide range of issues including Fernando Garcia’s back story growing up in Southern California and the core reasons he is running for office.  We discussed healthcare, immigration, gun control, environmental issues, criminal justice reform, the War on Drugs, education and student debt. I really enjoyed learning Fernando Garcia is an independent candidate not affiliated with either the Republican or Democratic Parties.  We get into the reasons why Fernando is independent and also discuss Ranked Choice Voting. We also get into current events including President Trump, Iran, Soleimani, Impeachment, trade policy, tax policy, budget, spending, the housing crisis and homelessness. #JohnRileyProject #FernandoGarcia #CA53 #AztecforLife JRP0102 John Riley Project Info: Bookings?
