Two-time loser tries third bid against Republican Mike Garcia for Southern California House seat Print this article
Despite two previous losses, California Democrat Christy Smith wants another shot at winning a House seat in North Los Angeles.
Smith on Wednesday said she plans to run against Republican Rep. Mike Garcia, though she came up short against him in a May 2020 special election and in a rematch last November. In a campaign video, Smith lobbed a shot at Garcia and compared him to the rioters who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Last November, I lost the race for California’s 25th Congressional District by only 333 votes. That was the difference between our community having a representative who aligned himself with domestic terrorists or one who aligns herself with American democracy, Smith said.
