From Humble Beginnings to US Senate Candidate - Meet Eddie Garcia
The political culture is shifting in many parts of the country. In Virginia, Democrats are more and more becoming the party of the rich and corporate America. At the same time, Republicans are more embraced by working Americans. On Tuesday evening, I interviewed Eddie Garcia. He's running in the US Senate GOP primary race to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA). Eddie shared his humble beginnings as a hard-working youth and Latino in South Texas, his decorated military career, and why he's running to represent Virginia in the US Senate.Â
"We can't expect our politicians that have gotten us into this mess to be able to think of new ideas to get us out of the mess that we're in."
Eddie has a real opportunity to reach conservative voters while also being a voice for center-left independents and disenfranchised Democrats in Virginia.
