Campaign themes
2016
Garcia's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Education Continue to be a voice for advancing educational options, which meet the needs of all families in WA State. Also will focus on making sure the state’s obligation to fully fund education is met. Fiscal Responsibility Be a voice against the over spending and taxation, which has become rampant. Every day people have to work within a budget, so should our state. After all, it’s our money being spent. Mental Health I have a firsthand understanding of the hardships faced when trying to make it through the day, hindered by a mental health issue. This is an everyday struggle for many, especially children. Getting these needs met, is of great importance to me.[1] |
