Garcia (R-CA-27) 05/02/2023: In reply to Tweet@TriaRyder @anonasnon @ElectMikeGarcia I've been a constituent for over 40 years and as a matter of opinion Buck McKeon was our best rep. Mike Garcia doesn't hold town halls and doesn't listen to concerns. He's just a gop talking head. – “@LALA_6X @TriaRyder @anonasnon Averaging 3 townhalls per year. Weekly newletters, multiple round tables and monthly all volunteer charity events throughout the district. Link to reply@ElectMikeGarcia I think that your message is supposed to be sarcastic and thus critical of the Biden administration. What are your plans to correct the things you listed? @Rxdiet1Robin -Not surrender Bagram and bail on our allies and not putting Americans in harms way -shoot down the balloon before it gets here -Spend less and lower taxes -Secure the border instead of enabling illegal immigration and human smuggling Good question Link to reply@ElectMikeGarcia @TriaRyder @anonasnon I believe last year was the only year he held anything close to 3 town halls. I did participate in his phone in town hall where all questions were screened. It would be great to get more notice on when and where those town halls will be held. There's no mention in the newsletter @LALA_6X @TriaRyder @anonasnon Yes year 1 and 2 were all virtual due to Covid restrictions. Townhalls are advertised in advance on all media. Stay tuned Link to reply@sirebral @ElectMikeGarcia As a responsible parent teaching your child fiscal responsibility you would make sure the debt incurred was paid and then limit the future spending. @LALA_6X @sirebral Exactly what we are doing. We are raising the ceiling. And then limiting future spending. Link to reply@ElectMikeGarcia Stop with your gop talking points and do the job that your purple district put you in DC to do. You need to put your constituents first not your party. Your number 1 job is to get the debt ceiling bill passed.
