Republican Rep. Mike Garcia’s campaign is confident as Democrats yank cash from his California race

California Republican Representative Mike Garcia is shrugging off “outside noise and progressive policy failures,” his campaign told DailyMail.com on Thursday after Democrats changed course over more than $2 million in TV spending on the United States. medium term in his district.

Garcia, a former Navy pilot, is the only Republican to represent a portion of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

He was considered one of the most vulnerable members of the House GOP in this election cycle until recently, until recently, when the Republican Party grabbed momentum in federal and state races across the country.

As more polls point to a wider margin of victory for Republicans than previously thought, and the midterm elections are less than two weeks away, Democrats appear to be consolidating funds into areas where their chances are better.

One of the areas they are closing their treasuries to is reportedly Los Angeles County.

The Nancy Pelosi-tuned House Majority PAC is cutting $2.2 million from that TV market, Politico reported last week.

When asked for the campaign’s response on Thursday, Garcia spokesman Ben Williamson told DailyMail.com that the California conservative would remain “focused” on his message ahead of November 8 election day.

“Our campaign has continued to focus on the same priorities from day one: security, constitutional compliance, hard work, delivering for our constituents and fighting to ensure this nation remains the greatest the planet has seen,” he said.

“That will never change, regardless of outside noise or progressive policy failures.”

He is challenged by Democrat Christy Smith, who narrowly lost to Garcia in 2020

While Garcia’s district has historically entrenched Republicans’ presence in Los Angeles County, shifting political tides and a Democrat-friendly realignment map have pushed the area into solid toss-up territory for months of the campaign.

But now, despite President Joe Biden winning the district by more than 10 points in 2020, Garcia seems poised to keep his seat.

Politico on Thursday moved his prediction for the district from “toss up” to “lean Republican.”

It’s part of a broader trend of districts in California, Oregon, New York and other parts of the country that have been hit particularly hard by the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns and higher crime rates set to become an uphill battle for Democrats in the 11th. hour of the campaign cycle.

His opponent, Democrat Christy Smith, was a California woman who narrowly lost to Garcia in 2020.

She has tried to tie him to Donald Trump by Congressman’s vote to undo the 2020 election results, and has campaigned against his conservative views on abortion.

In addition to his accomplishments in Congress and time in the military and as a military contractor, Garcia has largely followed a GOP playbook prepared for candidates in politically moderate areas.

That includes Democrats hammering on the economy and rising crime rates, both issues that consistently have voters’ attention, multiple polls suggest.

A recent ABC News poll shows that Republicans are leading the way in voter preferences when dealing with both issues.

Despite a surge of voter energy over the summer when the Supreme Court overthrew Roe v. Wade, for the most part, Democrats have seen a bleak forecast for maintaining their razor-sharp control of Congress.

Garcia’s race in California’s 27th Congressional District is one of the deciding factors.
