This information is provided by the candidate
Gaspar Garcia has come very far from where he started and that journey has shaped his character. Dr. Garcia is highly experienced and educated to meet the challenges of public service within the legislature.
Dr. Gaspar Garcia is characterized by his honesty, integrity, courage and competence and his desire to work for all the people in the 9th Assembly District. A vote for Gaspar Garcia is a vote for better opportunities and more help for our governor in making needed changes in our government. As a Native American with deep roots in the Hispanic culture, I strongly believe the time has come for all Californians to set aside their differences and start working together. I stand for education reforms, creation of high paying jobs in our district, and broader health coverage. I will demand openness in government, a balanced budget that is on time, and an end to partisan bickering that has crippled our legislative process. I hold an earned doctorate from the University of Southern California in Educational Administration and Curriculum and Instruction. As an educator for over 30 years, I have witnessed education in every county in California, and know firsthand, the need to improve educational opportunities for all our children. We must eliminate the gross unfairness in our educational funding process. We must fund the classrooms first, our school sites second, and the bureaucracy last. We must do a better job of educating our children so there will be less need for incarcerating adults. I will fight to attract new jobs to our district and work to preserve the ones we have now. We must create incentives to attract high paying jobs and emerging growth industries to our state. I am determined to improve our health care system so all our citizens can obtain coverage. We need cleaner water, safer neighborhoods, better air quality,transportation for every community, and relevant tort reform. Vote for Gaspar Garcia and put public interest ahead of partisan politics.
