Eddie Garcia

I have the experience of leading in difficult situations and accomplishing the mission. I served 22 years in US Military, and I’ve experienced the impacts of the failure of politics and the decline of our nation’s standing in the world. And unlike some, I believe that America has a bright future ahead of it, if the right leaders are elected. I’ve worked, with lawmakers and policy experts to pass legislation that protects our veterans, enhances our military, and supports our Gold Star Families. I know how the system works and I can pass legislation that works for all Americans. I have experienced the hardship of living on a centralized government healthcare system. I have the experience of navigating the complexities of our immigration system when my wife Veronica became a naturalized citizen. I have the experience of serving and fighting in warzones and areas of conflict with no plan for victory from our political leaders. Growing up near the Rio Grande Valley, I’ve experienced first-hand the effects of poor immigrations policy.

I am a Catholic Christian dedicating myself to the principles of my faith daily as a husband, a father, a neighbor, a church volunteer, and a community leader. My faith teaches me to care for the poor, shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty and to love my neighbor as myself. Our political leaders have sown division in our country for far too long. As your Senator, I will support focused programs targeted to lift families from poverty, reduce the unhoused, provide healthy food and nutrition options for children, and invest in clean, drinkable water. And those who disagree with me on the issues, I will treat them with love and respect. It’s time to bring back kindness, compassion and forgiveness to our country.
