The DNC congratulates Johnny Garcia for winning the Democratic primary for Texas’ 35th Congressional District. Across Texas, Democratic voters backed candidates like Garcia who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, and fighting for working families. This year, Democrats are seizing the opportunity to win this Republican-leaning seat and take back the majority in the House of Representatives.

In response to Garcia’s victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement: 

“Johnny Garcia is a proven leader who has spent nearly two decades in the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office fighting to keep his community safe, and now he’s ready to fight for them in Congress. Garcia believes in an approach to public service that will deliver real results for Texas’ hardworking families of all stripes. Democrats have the momentum to retake the House, and the DNC is ready to help mobilize voters to elect Garcia, a real leader who understands the challenges everyday Texans are facing and will deliver for them in Congress.”
