Congress does not have room for another right-wing extremist.

Friends — We’ll keep this quick. Today, we are asking you to contribute to Robert's re-election campaign. If you need a reason to support Robert today, please keep reading. John Briscoe, the ultra-right, MAGA extremist is, once again, Robert’s opponent this November. Here are a few quick facts a…

Robert needs your help to take on Marjorie Taylor Greene

Please read this: Congressman Robert Garcia is the only Democrat in Congress to serve on all three of the same committees as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Not once has Robert shied away from holding her accountable. But the reality is, going to bat against the far-right is not an easy job. MTG has mi…

The world according to Donald Trump

Here is what the world looks like to Donald Trump: Seriously. These are all things Trump has directly said about other countries. Let’s take a look down memory lane: In 2016, Trump launched his campaign by making the disgusting claim that Mexicans are essentially “rapists” and “murderers.” In…

MAGA extremists already have too much power in Congress and we can’t let them have an ounce more.

Hi Friends — I am writing to humbly ask you to contribute to my reelection campaign before we reach our mid-month deadline at midnight tonight. Here’s the thing: running this movement takes a lot of resources and support, and truthfully, we’ve seen a slow start to this quarter. Tonight at midnig…

I'm forced to ask

Friends — It's a Sunday so I’ll keep this short. My team has reviewed our monthly fundraising data, and unfortunately, we are not pacing well toward our April goal. If we don’t catch up this weekend, it will be very difficult to reach our goal by the end of the month. This is not the news I want…

Passing the torch in Congress

Friends, it’s Katie Porter. When I leave Congress at the end of my term, we’re going to need a warrior in the U.S. House to continue standing up to big corporations and fighting for working people. That person is Congressman Robert Garcia. I’ve known Robert for many years and am proud to call hi…

Trump wants immigrants from “nice countries” like “Denmark or Switzerland”

Friends, When Trump first ran for office, he opened the door to countless Republicans spewing lies, hate, and attacks on immigrants. Just this week, Trump made another comment, saying he wants immigrants from “nice countries” like “Denmark or Switzerland,” but not from Africa, Asia, the Middle E…

$972

$972 short. That is how much money we had left to raise to reach our midmonth fundraising goal last night. Less than a thousand dollars. In the grand scheme of things, $972 seems like a small amount of money for a political campaign — but at Robert’s campaign, we view things differently. Let us …

Another bogus impeachment attempt by Republicans

Alligators, bombing Mexico, electric fences, and shooting migrants.
