Campaign themes

Garcia's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Safety
- Excerpt: "I am in favor of strengthening our police and fire departments with all necessary resources in order to protect our families and homes. It is the city’s duty to ensure that residents of District 5 have excellent fire prevention programs and emergency medical services readily available to them."
Small businesses
- Excerpt: "Small businesses help create job opportunities and can bring forth much talent needed in our city to attract investors. Working closely with entrepreneurs and small business owners is vital. I believe that creating programs that help educate and support in building relations with investors, creditors, and consumers is necessary and will help to grow our economy."
Tax transparency
- Excerpt: "Unfortunately, most citizens do not know how their tax dollars are being spent. They only see the tax increases, but details are not provided or made accessible to them. I believe in transparency because it is a right that we as citizens and taxpayers deserve to receive. I am committed to protecting every penny spent in order to put an end to wasteful spending."
Green space
- Excerpt: "Our families deserve to live in a district with greener areas that display a clean and safe environment. As we all know, some areas in District 5 face challenges in displaying a green community. That is why I am willing to work hard to maintain and preserve our district for a better quality of life that we can all enjoy living in cleaner and greener neighborhoods."
