[1]Unrepresentatives Spotlight: Mike Garcia, California District 27
Indivisibles,

Our Unrepresentatives campaign is based on a simple premise: There are 18
House Republicans serving in districts that Biden won in 2020. These
Republicans are extraordinarily vulnerable because most of them got
elected pretending to be moderates, but once they got to Congress, they
immediately started siding with MAGA extremists like Marjorie Taylor
Greene. 

Case in point: Mike Garcia joined the most far-right members of the GOP
this week in backing a baseless impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Despite the fact that Congress has just two weeks to pass a spending bill
before the government shuts down and working families lose access to
essential services, Garcia has decided to focus his attention on
conspiracy theories and extreme partisan politics. 

This is just the latest example of Garcia siding with MAGA Republicans
instead of governing and representing the interests of his own
constituents. So today, we're going to take a deep dive into Garcia's
record of extremism in our latest edition of Unrepresentatives Spotlight:

[1]Photo of Mike Garcia with bullet points listing his voting record:
Garcia cosponsored a national abortion ban, voted against certifying the
2020 election, cosponsored voter suppression legislation, and Garcia votes
with Marjorie Taylor Greene 91% of the time.

When he campaigns and speaks to his constituents, Garcia bills himself as
a bipartisan moderate, but over the last three years, he's proven to be a
reliable vote for Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda. Nothing exemplifies
this better than Garcia’s vote against certifying the 2020 election --
even after MAGA insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

To this day, he continues to sow doubt in our elections and democracy and
uses this doubt to justify co-sponsoring the ACE Act -- a voter
suppression bill that would make voting more difficult while making it
easier for corporations and wealthy donors to flood our political system
with dark money.

his extremism and defeat him in 2024. 

Garcia is as much a threat to reproductive freedom as he is to our
democracy. In 2021, he signed on to an amicus brief calling on the MAGA
Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade. And when they did, he told his
constituents that the issue was being returned to the states and their
abortion rights would remain protected in California. 

What he didn’t tell his constituents was that he co-sponsored a bill
alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene that would ban abortion nationwide. Since
Democrats blocked the ban, Garcia has turned to other ways of restricting
reproductive freedom, including voting against enshrining the right to
contraception and the right to travel across state lines to receive an
abortion. 

Garcia likes to pose as a moderate and his reelection depends on upholding
that image. We’re going to do everything we can to expose him not just as
a complicit enabler of the MAGA agenda but as an active leader in pushing
forward legislation that strips away his own constituents’ freedom to vote
and freedom to control their own bodies. [ [link removed] ]If you’re ready to help us,

margin of victory in 2020 and Garcia's 6.5% margin of victory in 2022.

 

We know how to defeat Garcia. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans
in CA-27 and they voted for Biden over Trump by more than 12 percentage
points. While Garcia won in 2022 by 6.5 percentage points, he only won by
333 votes in 2020 when turnout was much higher. 

Garcia has managed to scrape by in the last two elections because he’s
deceived a narrow slice of the electorate into believing he’s a bipartisan
moderate. To defeat him, we need to continue holding him accountable by
exposing his extreme and out-of-touch voting record.

That’s exactly what Indivisible groups are doing in CA-27. In addition to
showing up and speaking out at town halls like the one [ [link removed] ]Indivisible
Antelope Valley attended two weeks ago, Indivisibles have joined local
progressive partners in canvassing and doorknocking campaigns to spread
the word about Garcia’s record of extremism.

This is the kind of consistent, year-round organizing that’s needed to
hold the Unrepresentatives accountable. Even though you’re not in Garcia’s
district, his extreme agenda puts us all at risk, and flipping his seat is
one crucial step toward a Congress that works for the American people
rather than MAGA’s wealthy donors. So, we’re counting on Indivisibles from
across the country to support our work and help hold him and the other
Unrepresentatives accountable. If you're able to, [ [link removed] ]Click here to pitch

the 18 Unrepresentative districts.
