Born in Lima, Peru, and currently residing in Long Beach, Garcia uses platforms like Twitter to engage with constituents and share his perspectives on political matters.

On February 4, 2025, Congressman Garcia highlighted a recent event where over 9,300 Spanish-speaking residents from Southeast Los Angeles to Long Beach participated in a telephone town hall. The event focused on educating immigrants about their rights amidst the impact of former President Trump's policies. He expressed gratitude towards those who joined the call. "Last night, over 9300 Spanish speaking residents from Southeast LA to Long Beach joined us in a telephone townhall to learn their rights as immigrants. We answered questions and heard horrific stories of how people are being impacted by Trump’s actions. Thanks to all who joined."

Later that day, Garcia shared his views on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., describing him as a "tin foil hat conspiracy theorist" and an "anti-vaxxer," asserting that he does not deserve any votes. "RFK JR is a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist who is also an anti-vaxxer. He does not deserve a single vote."

On February 5, 2025, Congressman Garcia criticized Elon Musk for allegedly attempting to dismantle the social safety net for personal gain and called for Musk to face Congress regarding what he termed an "unconstitutional power grab." "Elon Musk wants to destroy the social safety net so he can redirect those savings to himself, his billionaire friends, and their companies. Musk needs to face Congress and answer questions about this unconstitutional power grab."
