⚡ March 3rd Primary — Act Now to Stop "Old School" Politics in TX-35

TX-35 Democratic Primary · San Antonio

TX-35 Deserves a Fighter, Not a Spin Doctor.

⚠ What the Mailer Shows — The Facts on Johnny Garcia

Not From Here
Doesn't Live in the District

Garcia graduated from Memorial High School — on the opposite side of San Antonio. He doesn't live in TX-35. He can't even vote for himself.

Side Hustle Candidate
Still on the Taxpayer Payroll

Garcia is collecting a government salary as a Sheriff's PIO while running for Congress. TX-35 isn't a side project — it's a full-time job.

What Does It Even Mean?
"Old School Democrat"

Garcia calls himself an "old school Democrat" — code for backward-looking, out-of-touch politics. Our families need solutions, not nostalgia.

"I'm a Marine. I didn't spend my career writing strongly-worded letters — I spent it serving this country in combat. TX-35 doesn't need an 'old school' Democrat. It needs a fighter."

— John Lira, Democratic Candidate for TX-35
