Raul Garcia in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites

On Drugs: Country should increase focus on drug addiction programs

A healthy country will have an increased focus on drug addiction programs, mental health facilities and personnel, access to healthcare, the restoration of a strong K-12 education with the addition of technical apprentice programs, and true and swift accountability for those who break the law. A healthy U.S. Senate will have a Senator who has first hand experience treating patients with fentanyl overdose, addiction, and critical mental health needs.

On Education: Restore public schools so families won't pull children out

Our excellent educational curriculum and outcomes need to be restored for families to stop pulling our children out of our public schools. I will support our immigrant community and open doors for them to experience the American Dream the way I have. Source: 2024 Washington Senate campaign website GarciaForWA.com Feb 26, 2024

On Principles & Values: Work to find commonsense solutions that cross party lines

Over the last few years, we have politically weaponized every problem that we face and because of that we have been unable to find common sense solutions. The fringes of left and right have politicized everything possible to create this divide. As U.S. Senator I will rise above these fractures and work tirelessly to find commonsense solutions that cross party lines.

On Abortion: Would oppose an abortion ban or making abortion illegal

Dr Garcia will oppose bills or policies that run counter to the majority position of the people of Washington on abortion. As a physician, Dr Garcia would not vote for an abortion ban or to make abortion illegal, because he has studied the ramifications and consequences of such legislative actions increasing the morbidity and mortality of women. Banning abortion can result in doctors being unable to perform life-saving procedures. Source: 2024 Washington Senate campaign website GarciaForWA.com Oct 10, 2024

On Foreign Policy: I support standing firmly against Russian aggression

I support standing firmly against the oppression and tyranny that Russia embodies in its aggression. History teaches us that we do not support regimes that seek to undermine the sovereignty of others. The fight for Ukraine is not just a geopolitical struggle; it's a battle for the ideals we hold dear. Supporting Ukraine has proven to be the most prudent course of action for our country. It's a way for us to stand up against tyranny without sacrificing the lives of our brave servicemen and women. Source: 2024 Washington Senate campaign website GarciaForWA.com Oct 10, 2024

On Gun Control: Cuba's tyrannical government banned people from owning guns

Dr Garcia supports the 2nd Amendment. As someone who spent the first 11 years of his life under the communist dictatorship in Cuba, he saw firsthand how that tyrannical government banned people from owning firearms, and punished possession of guns with prison and even death. As an ER doctor who has treated victims of gun violence, he is committed to working on bipartisan solutions to gun violence. He wants children in schools to be as safe as they would be in a TSA-screened airport. Source: 2024 Washington Senate campaign website GarciaForWA.com Oct 10, 2024
