Valencia, CA – Congressman Mike Garcia today called on liberal Christy Smith to oppose Washington liberals’ push to nationalize her signature legislation AB5, which is crushing thousands of jobs throughout California and threatening to force Uber and Lyft out of the state.
“Christy Smith’s signature legislation AB5 is killing literally thousands of jobs here in California – it’s time for her to make it clear she will not support nationalizing this legislation which would lead to untold job losses across the country,” said Garcia.
Despite Washington liberals who are backing Smith’s election pushing for a national version of the jobs-killing bill, Mike Garcia recently co-sponsored a bill that will preempt similar laws at the federal level.
“Services like Uber and Lyft have meant a reduction in DUI’s and serve as a vital mode of transportation for senior citizens, but Smith’s AB5 is pushing those companies to the brink of closure,” Garcia added. “Nationalizing Smith’s bill would be devastating for America’s economy – voters deserve to know where she stands.”
