"This is an exciting time to be running for re-election," Garcia said. "Our model over the years has been that we represent the people in our districts. The last 70 days I have spent in my district, in all parts of my district, meeting with constituents, listening to their concerns. I will take back an agenda to fight for in Washington D.C."
