Today, Representative Mike Garcia (R-Santa Clarita) released the following statement after he voted against impeaching President Trump: 

“In Congress, my priority is working to advance commonsense, bipartisan policies that improve the lives of Californians and all Americans and help to safely open up our businesses and get employees back to work. The only way we can do this is to move forward together as one nation. With only a few days left in the Trump Administration, the vote to impeach the President is no more than political theater that runs the risk of further dividing us at a time when we need to come together. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stop playing political games and start advancing good policy solutions. To that end, I am proud to have introduced H.R. 202, the SALT Fairness Act, which would repeal the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap. I look forward to working towards improving our national security, supporting small business, protecting our communities from wildfire and related power shutoffs, and ensuring that our law enforcement have the support and tools they need to safely protect our communities.”
