If Mike can get reelected he might have a bright future. Our voting district used to be a lock for more-conservative candidates until massive numbers of wealthier 'Crats started relocating to the area (escaping the inner city areas they are systematically ruining).

Garcia eked out a win against the local 'Crat (a garden-variety Marxist hoe named Smith) in the last election. If this area follows national trends, Garcia's margin of victory should be larger this time. 

If it is a smooth reelection, and he is able to have a good run in his current office, Garcia might be a good option to run in the next Mexifornia Governor's race.

Slimy, creepy, pencil-neck Gavin "Hair-Boy" Newsom is not well-liked by Latinos of either party. If a strong candidate can be found to oppose him, the Republicans (or a non-aligned candidate) might just pull it out. Will it change much in Mexifornia - probably not (the legislature is still a "permanent" super-majority of 'Crats). The value is in the political climate and how it could start a really strong trend in the state away from the looming cliff. 

Mexifornia has ballooning, unfunded state pension fund liabilities as far as the eye can see - eventually someone's state-issued checks will stop clearing. Mexifornia also has a pandemic of violent crime raging across the state which is taking the heaviest toll among black and Latino residents. That is a mobilizing force in the Latino enclaves.
