My Dad, who is a Nevada voter and lives in Las Vegas, was uninsured before Obamacare. I helped him sign up for healthcare after it was signed into law by Barack Obama. He’s a hardcore @JoeBiden supporter & is going to caucus next Saturday. Proud that he joined us at this event. https://t.co/liLTJn9mxJ

Garcia was previously California co-chair for Sen. Kamala Harris (D, CA) failed Presidential campaign (during which Harris had sandpapered Biden.) In October 2019, Garcia canceled a "Meet the Mayor" event for LB residents to fly to Iowa to campaign for Sen. Kamala Harris (and likewise Tweeted his presence; LBREPORT.com coverage here.)

When Harris' campaign imploded, Garcia endorsed Biden in January 2020 after several CA Dem electeds and Dem Party figures did likewise (including State Senators Bill Dodd, Cathleen Galgiani and Anthony Portantino; Assembly members Ken Cooley and Al Muratsuchi; L.A. County D.A. Jackie Lacy; and former state Senator/foremer CA Dem Party chair Art Torres, LA Community College District Board of Trustees president Andra Hoffman; Neysa Fligor, Los Altos City vice mayor; Maria Morales, El Monte City Council member; Denise Menchaca, San Gabriel City Council member; and Robert Gin, Alhambra Unified School District board member.)

In 2016 when Sen. Bernie Sanders was battling former Sec'y of State Hillary Clinton in the June 2016 CA primary, Mayor Garcia introduced Ms. Clinton at an election-eve LBCC "get out the vote" rally. A few weeks later, as a delegate to Democrats 2016 national convention, Garcia voted to nominate Clinton over Sanders.

On election eve, Garcia famously wrote on his Facebook page that he didn't vote for Clinton as a protest against Trump but because he believed she was "well qualified, ready on day one." (LBREPORT.com coverage here.)
