House Rating Change: Wealthy Democratic Entrant Moves Garcia's CA-27 to Toss Up

This Northern Los Angeles County seat has caused Democrats immense frustration ever since Rep. Katie Hill resigned amid a sex scandal in 2019. Garcia has defied the seat’s D+4 Cook PVI by playing up his background as a Navy fighter pilot and the son of Mexican immigrants, beating Democratic Assemblywoman Christy Smith three times: in May 2020 (55%-45%), November 2020 (50.1%-49.9%) and 2022 (53%-47%).
