Valencia, CA – Mike Garcia, former Navy fighter pilot and Republican candidate for CA-25, today announced the endorsement of Santa Clarita Mayor Cameron Smyth and Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer. These endorsements come on the heels of endorsements from the other three major city mayors in the 25th Congressional District.
“I am excited to endorse Mike Garcia for Congress. As a highly decorated Navy fighter pilot and long-time Santa Clarita resident, I have no doubt Mike is the right person to send to Washington D.C. and fight for our community,” Santa Clarita Mayor Cameron Smyth said.
“Palmdale and our surrounding communities are being crushed under the weight of high taxes,” Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer said. “I am endorsing Mike because he is an outsider who doesn’t want California-style polices to destroy America.”
Mayor Smyth and Mayor Hofbauer join Mayor Keith Mashburn of Simi Valley, Mayor R. Rex Parris of Lancaster and Agua Dulce Town Council President Don Henry, meaning Garcia has secured all five major city endorsements in the 25th Congressional District.
“Our campaign continues gaining momentum because people agree that our taxes in California are out of control and we must lower them,” Garcia said. “Christy Smith is a Sacramento career politician who wants to take California’s dysfunctional tax-raising policies to Washington, and we can’t let that happen.”
Mike Garcia believes in a strong national defense and is a pro-business, pro-taxpayer, political outsider with nearly 20 years of service to this country as one of the first Super Hornet strike fighter pilots in the Navy and is a highly decorated US Naval Officer. Garcia is a first-generation American whose father immigrated to the US in 1959 and has lived in the 25th district for nearly all of his life. Garcia lives in Santa Clarita with his wife and two sons. He was named to the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Young Guns program as one of the top GOP candidates in the country.
The 25th district encompasses the cities of Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Palmdale, Lancaster and the northern part of the San Fernando Valley. The median income is $76,866 and the ethnic breakdown is 45.8% White, 8% Black, 7.7% Asian and 35.3% Hispanic.
