This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in American history. His administration is working every day to erase the progress we’ve made. But Ranking Member Robert Garcia and Oversight Dems are here to fight back.

Not stopping until we get justice for the victims of Epstein - and the truth about who’s responsible.

I’m looking forward to repping Orange County. The seat is solid blue, has over D+10 registration and Kamala Harris won it by over 13 points. Excited to represent Long Beach, Signal Hill, Avalon, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa & South Santa Ana.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialAug 16(source)

Absolutely.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialAug 16(source)

I love my current congressional district, but I understand the stakes. Democracy is on the line. When this new map is approved by voters, I look forward to running in the new 42nd district, made up of my hometown of Long Beach, coastal OC, Costa Mesa & South Santa Ana. Let’s go!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialAug 14(source)

I’m 100% behind our Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. This is an emergency and we must respond to Texas. California is stepping up. Who’s next?

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialAug 14(source)

As the new Democratic leader of the Oversight Committee, I'm committed to fighting for a country that takes on corruption, puts people over profits, and helps make life more affordable for everyone. Proud to share my vision and our work ahead.
