(Santa Clarita, CA) – Today, former Naval Officer and fighter Mike Garcia will report raising over $232,000 for his Congressional campaign during the third financial quarter of 2019. The momentum for Garcia’s campaign continued into October raising another $41,000 in the first week. Already the leading GOP fundraiser in the race, Garcia’s impressive showing totals to nearly $525,000 in the six months since the start of his run for Congress.
“The support we’re receiving for our campaign and the momentum we’re building has been truly tremendous in the short time we’ve been in the race,” said Mike Garcia. “Every day we add new supporters and more volunteers who resonate with our message of fighting for freedom and standing against the socialist policies Katie Hill and her colleagues continue to push in Washington. I am truly humbled and look forward to being a strong voice for this great district in Congress.”
Mike Garcia’s fundraising haul is made up of over 3,000 donors. The financial backing from across the district echoes the support Garcia is receiving on the ground with endorsements of over 20 current and former elected officials including Governor Pete Wilson and Congressmen Elton Gallegly and Buck McKeon, 130 veterans, and 80 volunteers.
Along with fundraising strength, the grassroots support continues to grow as Katie Hill’s hometown Council President endorsed Garcia for Congress. “Katie Hill may be a resident of Agua Dulce, but she certainly hasn’t been our Congresswoman,” said Agua Dulce Town Council President Don Henry. “Katie Hill simply continues to ignore her hometown, and while we’ve gotten to know Mike Garcia, I am confident he’ll be the type of Congressman who will represent us honorably in Washington.”
