Juan Garcia Running for U.S. Senate?

By Byron LaMasters

The man that Andrew dubbed in January the "Latino John Kennedy" now has a website. Many of us thought that Garcia would be a candidate for state representative against Gene Seaman, but Garcia apparently is aiming higher.

Can someone tell Garcia he

1) Needs a disclosure along the lines of "This site paid for by..."

2) The Federal Limits are now $2100/person, not $2000.

He looks like he could be a great candidate, but he needs to act like he knows what he's doing.

Is this the state party's way of having another "balanced ticket" again in 2006? I wonder what Radnofsky is thinking.

I think a lot of people were waiting for someone to get in the race who could beat Radnofsky ... could he be the guy?

Well, I'm still waiting. The field will certainly expand if/when KBH announces for governor (on both sides). Few people believe that any Dem can beat KBH, but anything can happen in an open seat situation.

Byron - Is Garcia even a Democrat? It doesn't seem to say on his web site.

Garcia is a Democrat to my knowledge

He is definitely a Democrat. he was also Barack Obama's roommate at Harvard

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Garcia about 2 years ago while being a student at Del Mar College. I can honestly say that he is a very sharp-professional individual. Juan Garcia is more than a senate candidate, he is an inspiration. "Voting For Garcia, Is like Voting for Yourself."

Juan Garcia is an inspiration to me. I was sick in the hospital and he came to visit me, promising to hit a home run for me in the second inning, as he played baseball at Harvard. He is a real man's man, and he has my vote
