In his endorsement questionnaire, Garcia outlined support for eliminating sentence enhancements and mandatory minimums that don’t improve public safety. He also supported eliminating the Three Strikes Law and acknowledged that retail theft occurs because “… people do not have access to resources they need to thrive.” He also outlined support for ending life sentences without the possibility of parole, and fully funding unarmed crisis responders.
