Endorsements
“As an experienced school board member and educator, Robert Garcia has worked tirelessly to expand educational opportunities for students, improve our public schools and keep our classrooms safe. I’m proud to endorse Robert’s campaign for State Assembly because I know that he will continue fighting to create better-paying jobs in the Inland Empire, lower household costs for families, reduce gun violence in our communities and defend abortion rights.”
Democratic Caucus Chair, United States Congress Representative (CA-33) – Pete Aguilar
“Robert Garcia has devoted his life to education and helping his community thrive. On the Etiwanda School District Board, he’s been an effective leader who’s not afraid to advocate for students. Robert is the right choice to deliver for working families, and I know he will be a strong and thoughtful representative for the Inland Empire in the State Assembly.”
Speaker of the California State Assembly – Robert Rivas
“Robert has dedicated his life to fighting for communities in need and supporting residents of this district. An educator for 21 years and school board member for 7 years, Robert has shown an unparalleled commitment to empowering our youth and championing education reform. His dedication to education and innovative teaching methods have benefitted our students for years. Robert knows the importance of investing in our youth. He has lived in Assembly District 50 for 17 years with his wife and two children. Coming from a labor household where his father served as a machinist for 30 years, he is deeply familiar with the struggles facing working families in our region. “
