The incumbent Republican was first elected in a 2020 special election following Democratic Rep. Katie Hill's resignation. Garcia is the son of Mexican immigrants and an Air Force veteran. He had nearly double Smith's cash on hand, with over $1.2 million, according to Oct. 19 Federal Election Commission filings — compared to her $625,000.
Abortion was the most contentious issue in the swing district following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in June. Garcia co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act, which would ban most abortions nationwide, and signed an amicus brief urging the court to overturn Roe. After the decision came down, he urged his constituents to make their stances known in Sacramento, as the decision now belongs to the states.
“As a woman who is a high-risk, near-death first pregnancy survivor, and had a complicated decision to carry a second pregnancy to term, I have been a stalwart advocate for greater access to services in my community and will continue to defend a woman’s right to unfettered access to safe, legal abortion services, including now codifying abortion rights into law,” she said.
