He flew over 30 combat missions during Operation Iraqi freedom. Accruing over 1400 hours of operational flight time during his nearly 20 years of military service to our country, Garcia decided to separate from the US Navy with an Honorable Discharge to focus on his family. Garcia moved back to the 25th District in 2009 and began to work for the Raytheon Company. During his now 10 years as an executive at Raytheon, Garcia has been responsible for the generation of billions of dollars of revenue and the creation of hundreds of jobs for his company and our district. Garcia is the husband to Rebecca Garcia, the owner of the Rebecca Rollins Interiors in Santa Clarita, and the father of Preston (age 13) and Jett (age 3).

Mike Garcia will make it a priority to ensure our men and women in uniform have the funding and tools necessary to keep America safe, and only send them into battle when it is absolutely necessary. </p><p><b>Term Limits</b><br /> Garcia supports term limits because it’s time to get rid of the career politicians in both parties. Washington, DC truly is a swamp, filled with career politicians who are more concerned with their next election than making tough decisions. The Founding Fathers wanted citizens to step up and serve their community in office for a brief period and then make way for new representation before they lost touch with their constituency. </p><p><b>National Debt</b><br /> The $22 trillion in debt is unsustainable and will be back breaking in the long run. Unless we do something about it, the interest payments on our debt will soon exceed the military budget and Medicaid. That poses problems for readiness and national security. Navy Admiral and Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Michael Mullen has said that “the single, biggest threat to our national security is debt.” </p><p><b>Socialism</b><br /> Mike Garcia is a first-generation American citizen whose family came to the United States legally for more opportunity and for a shot at the American Dream. Garcia knows what’s at stake, and he’ll fight against Democrats’ dangerous socialist agenda and restore our country’s guiding principles, most importantly freedom, that he helped protect in his 20 years as a Naval Officer. </p><p><b>Economy and Jobs</b><br /> With a proven track record as a leader of job creation and winning new business while also advocating for and promoting minorities and women, Mike Garcia knows what it takes to be successful and contribute to the economy. Garcia knows that our economy is strong in spite of government, not because of it. He opposes job-killing liberal policies, like AB-5, that crush California’s workers and small businesses. Mike Garcia will go to Congress and go to bat for our community to create a climate that brings good paying jobs and economic activity. </p><p><b>Taxes</b><br /> Tax and spend, big government, and bloated bureaucracy — that’s the big three in Washington and Sacramento. Tax cuts are working for the country, but California taxpayers are being unfairly punished for their zip code. Californians are getting squeezed by higher property and gas taxes. California and the federal government have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Garcia supports protecting Prop. 13 and will work to cut taxes for Californians. Smaller government and lower taxes are the keys to strong economic growth. <sup id="cite_ref-quotedisclaimer_54-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-quotedisclaimer-54">[54]</a></sup> </p> </td> <td width="20" valign="bottom" style="border: none; color: #B2B7F2; font-size: 35px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; padding: 10px 1px;">” </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" class="cquotecite" style="border: none; padding-right: 4%"><cite style="font-style: normal;font-size: smaller; float: right;">—Mike Garcia’s campaign website (2020)<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a></sup></cite> </td></tr></tbody></table> </div> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Campaign_finance_summary">Campaign finance summary</span></h2> <style>.cf_bp_logo {width: 35px !important;}</style><hr /><p><img class="cf_bp_logo" src="https://ballotpedia.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/images/bp-logo-sm.svg" alt="Ballotpedia Logo" title="The Encyclopedia of American Politics" /><i>Note: The finance data shown here comes from the disclosures required of candidates and parties.
