Background:
Assemblymember Garcia was first elected in 2024 and was endorsed by IJ Action during that race. Prior to joining the Legislature, served on the Etiwanda School District Board of Trustees and was an educator for over twenty years.
In his first term in office, Assemblymember Garcia showed us as a strong supporter of justice reform, earning an “A” on our Legislative Scorecard.
Public Safety Platform:
Assemblymember Garcia does not share much about his public safety platform on his campaign website, except for sharing that he believes creating safe neighborhoods requires “develop[ing] key investments and policy that improves our communities quality of life.”
Given his strong voting record on justice reform during his first term in office, IJ Action recommends that voters re-elect Assemblymember Garcia.

Public Safety Platform:
Mageno advocates for a tough-on-crime platform on her campaign website, stating that if elected she “will fight to fully fund and implement Proposition 36, strengthen penalties for repeat offenders, and ensure law enforcement agencies have the staffing, tools, and resources needed to protect the public. She will stand with crime victims, support first responders, and oppose policies that put dangerous offenders back on the streets without adequate consequences or supervision.” She also expresses support for racist voter ID requirements, which IJ Action is currently advocating against.
