Congressman elect Mike Garcia becomes Congressman Mike Garcia. Officially being sworn in this morning #CA25 #NexstarDC

“For 244 years, this beautiful nation has thrived and survived on the back of those who showed up at the right time, to do the right thing and for the right reasons.” -Rep. @MikeGarcia2020 #NexstarDC

And with the final gavel Speaker Pelosi welcomes the new members into the full House. Garcia is scheduled to do a press availability one an hour or so, we’re gonna try to get him and ask a few questions. #NexstarDC

“Early indications of these races show what will happen in November.” -@GOPLeader on @MikeGarcia2020’s win in #CA25 special election #NexstarDC

Newly elected Congressman Garcia/Leader McCarthy scaled back concerns about a universal mail-in voting system, saying their concern lies in attempts to “federalize” elections, not with mail-in balloting itself. #NexstarDC

Garcia won a mostly mail-in ballot race. Before this President Trump and Republican members of Congress expressed concern that mail-in balloting is easily manipulated, inviting voter fraud and ballot harvesting. #NexstarDC #CA25

Lighter moment here -as his dad was being sworn in as a member of the United States House of Representatives, the first Republican in 22 years to flip a Democratic seat in California, @MikeGarcia2020’s little son had...other priorities 😂😂😂
