“La diferencia entre mí y mucha gente que busca este puesto es que yo ya he hecho el trabajo”: Patty García

Written Q&A (Spanish) · La Raza Excerpts (verbatim from the published Q&A, in the original Spanish): “Llevo siete años como jefa de gabinete del congresista ‘Chuy’ García y durante ese tiempo conseguimos más de $60 millones para este distrito, para centros juveniles, hospitales, proyectos contra inundaciones y para sacar el plomo del agua.” “Primero, voy a presentar legislación para exigirle cuentas a ICE por lo que le está haciendo a las familias de este distrito, como un paso hacia eliminar ICE y reemplazarlo con un sistema que respete nuestros derechos y el debido proceso.” “Crecí en La Villita y Cicero. Soy la mayor de tres hermanas e hija de inmigrantes de Jalisco.”

Congressional Candidate Patty Garcia on Her Vision for the Office

TV interview · WTTW — Chicago Tonight (PBS) Excerpts from GOTV Intel's transcription: [00:48] “So I was born and raised in Chicago in Little Village. Both of my parents are immigrants from Mexico. I grew up in a union home, and I'm a proud graduate of Chicago Public Schools, and also from the U of I. I earned my education policy doctorate degree from the U of I.” [03:08] “Look, anyone could have filed at any point. And we've said that consistently. I've said that consistently that we didn't stop anyone from gathering their petitions, we didn't stop anyone from filing. The board of elections are open as it is to anybody else. The process is open to anybody else. Anyone who's interested can file at any point. And there are two other candidates on the ballot. This isn't a done deal, right?” [06:08] “Look, it's been over 40 years uh since we've had any meaningful immigration reform. So number one for me is of course immigration as a daughter of immigrants. As someone who's had to go fight ice and and go to Broadview and go do surprise visit uh at detention centers, I've seen the atrocities of this immigration system. And it's not just one president, it's been a system that has completely vilified and criminalized immigrants and and separated families.” [07:56] “I think we should have walked away until we had something to walk away with, right? We should have waited uh to ensure that we had at minimum some uh healthcare”
