Washington is one of the most expensive states in the nation. Our economy is weak and our cost of living is high. The incumbent, Sen. Maria Cantwell, is doing nothing to lower costs and improve our economy. She consistently votes for reckless federal spending that is sending our national debt to dangerous levels, and in turn contributes to inflation. Dr Garcia will demand audits of federal spending, promote policies to make our economy more productive for workers and consumers, and work for fiscal sanity in our federal government.

Video summary:
Inflation is a heavy burden for most families, forcing them into tough choices between essential needs like gas and groceries. Inflation is not just a statistic but a daily struggle for people trying to make ends meet.
We should have a thorough audit of federal spending to eliminate ineffective programs and redirect funds to the communities that need them most.
Dr Garciaās vision is one of hope: an America where people donāt have to choose between filling their tanks with gas and feeding their children. Many of us are feeling the strain of high living costsāparticularly in child care and groceriesāalongside a troubling unemployment rate.
With our state ranking 3rd highest in child care costs, 4th highest in grocery expenses, and 5th highest in unemployment, it’s clear we need a change. Dr Garcia is committed to addressing these issues head-on, fighting for policies that will ease the financial burden on our people and create better job opportunities.
This year we have the opportunity bring about the positive change our state needs. Dr. Garcia is ready to be a new voice for the people of Washington.
