Fighting to Get Big Money out of Politics
Congressman Garcia believes need to make sure our democracy works for every American—not just the most wealthy. Congress must take steps to regulate campaign contributions so that our elected leaders remain accountable to their constituents and not special interests.
Big money has no place in our democracy. Congressman Garcia supports overturning the Citizens United v. FEC decision, which unleashed unlimited corporate and dark money on political campaigns that drowns out the voices of everyday Americans. In Congress, he is fighting for strong, transparent campaign finance reform to hold special interests accountable and ensure that everyone has a real voice in shaping our future. Congressman Garcia is committed to ending big money in politics and reclaiming our democracy.
