Joe Garcia for Congress

Thanks to your support, we are putting together a powerful grassroots movement with the wind at our backs.

Here's some food for thought: in less than a week, over 3,000 people joined our campaign. Just last week, we received more individual contributions in a single day than our opponent has in the last 6 months. We have also put up a Facebook page where many of your neighbors are going to show their support.



Joe is making a difference because he's talking about the issues we care about, like fixing our broken economy; affordable quality healthcare for all; and better jobs for our community.

This campaign is making local, national and international headlines because of your energy and support. Here are some of the latest news clips:
