Below is a statement from former U.S. Naval Officer Mike Garcia:
“While the extreme liberals in Washington hold hostage the Congressional agenda so they can push their socialist policies, America seeks to move forward to a more prosperous economy and safer nation. Unfortunately, Christy Smith being endorsed by these very Democrats and extreme liberals in her run for Congress will offer nothing but the same. Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats have shown they cannot handle the Constitutional authority they have while holding the Majority. Winners look toward the next race and not the last. We need to let the voters decide in November 2020. As we look toward the next election, it’s time for new leadership in Congress and to get America back on track.”
