Garcia Attempts to Rewrite Record in Washington

Joe Garcia’s attempt to rewrite his scandal-plagued record is likely to be as ineffective as he was in Congress. The (sad) truth is that during his two years in office, Garcia had only ONE bill pass the House, which…….wait for it…….named a post office. 

Perhaps his poor record is because Garcia engaged in partisan infighting and name-calling, even labeling his Republican colleagues “the Taliban.” 

Or maybe it’s because his hands were full with his connections to scandals and corruption as several key staffers were involved in state and federal investigations, leaving little time for solutions to issues South Floridians care about.  

Why should South Floridians believe Garcia will “get the job done” given his record of lies and ineffective service?
