Our next monthly meeting of Republicans in the 1st and 45th legislative districts is on Thursday, February 22. Our special guest speaker will be Dr. Raul Garcia, who is running for U.S. Senate this year to unseat Maria Cantwell. We look forward to hearing from Dr. Garcia about his campaign and his priorities for Washington. Please bring your questions for him!
Dr. Garcia escaped Fidel Castro’s communist regime in Cuba with his mother at the age of 11. They eventually settled in Miami, Florida where most of their family continues to reside. He graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology and Immunology, and from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He developed a passion for Emergency Medicine and has continued to serve on the front lines for the last 25 years. In addition to Emergency Medicine, he has been a successful small business owner of his own medical practice, has been the founding Dean of two medical schools, and the Medical Director of two hospitals. He is currently the Chief Medical Officer of Astria Toppenish Hospital.
He founded Opportunity for Washington as a non-profit, nonpartisan effort promoting education and change. He also founded the Partnership for Food Security in 2020 to promote education for COVID-19, particularly among the Latino community. He is a very proud and committed father to his five children. He and his wife Jessica live in Yakima.
We will meet at the Sammamish Valley Grange, 14654 148th Ave. NE, Woodinville, WA 98072. Social starts at 7:00 PM, and the meeting begins at 7:30 PM.
