“'A major concern for many who live in California’s 25th District is the status of our nation’s infrastructure, especially right here in Southern California.

“'I’m excited to have Congressman Mike Garcia of California join the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee,' Congressman Frank Lucas (R-OK), the Ranking Member of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology said. 'His years of experience as a military pilot and a business executive have given him a unique perspective on the value of technological innovation—particularly in aeronautics.'
“'The heartbeat of our nation’s aerospace program is located squarely in Southern California,' Garcia said. 'As a member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, I am uniquely positioned to represent our collective interests when it comes to the United States’ future space exploration.'”
