Juan Eliel Garcia For Congress Opens Campaign Office, “Truly A Different Option” To Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Leave a reply

Last Friday, the Juan Eliel Garcia For US Congress campaign opened its headquarters in Sunrise. Garcia hopes to win the GOP nomination so he can send Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch) packing in November. He told the crowd attending the opening that he was “truly a different option” to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The campaign released the following statement:

“Congress, at the opening of the Juan Eliel for Congress campaign headquarters on Shotgun Road in Sunrise this past Friday March 9th.

‘This election is a choice between the status quo, which the people are not happy with, and a new direction for the country,’ said Carlos Ferreira, campaign manager. ‘Juan Eliel is not a career politician, but a concerned citizen who cares where America is going and cares what the people think.’

Garcia introduced himself to the crowd with his trademark line – ‘Restoring the American Dream’ – and talked about the crucial role the economy and other issues will play in the primary election scheduled for August 14th. Volunteers have already been using the office to run nightly info-call operations to prospective voters in Broward County.

‘Broward County is essential to turning our country around and putting America back to work,’ Garcia said. ‘The people of Broward County know our current representative in Washington has sold us out. Wall Street has bought her. Broward was considered the high-tech capital of the nation, the Silicon Valley of its day, and it’s been destroyed by outsourcing and uncontrolled imports from abroad.’

Garcia thanked the volunteers for their support and hard work. His campaign will earn a place on the ballot after gathering over 2300 signatures on nominating petitions, a first for a Hispanic in the 23rd Congressional District.

‘This election is different, because finally the voters have as a choice, someone with values and integrity. On August 14th, we are going to send a message to Washington: Enough of the career politicians. We are going to put America first, put Americans back to work, and make Washington work for us, instead of the other way around.’

Juan Eliel Garcia is a radio personality, pastor and entrepreneur who founded and managed various corporations both here in the USA and in his native Puerto Rico.

The JUAN ELIEL FOR CONGRESS campaign headquarters are located at 719 Shotgun Road Sunrise, Fl 33326.”

The already crowded GOP field vying to take on Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch) just got a little more crowded. Bill Lewis, host of The Credit Report With Bill Lewis WSBR 740AM, broke the news that Gineen Bresso will announce her candidacy for US CONGRESS CD-20. Ms. Bresso will compete for the GOP nomination with Ozzie DeFaria, Juan Eliel Garcia, Joe Goldner, Karen Harrington and Joe Kaufman.

Here is some background on Ms. Bresso from Lewis’ story at RedState.com:

“Former presidential appointee and elections attorney, Gineen Bresso, is set to announce Monday her candidacy to represent Florida’s 20th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Bresso, 39, is challenging Democratic National Committee Chair and incumbent Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

‘I am prepared to work to restore fiscal responsibility, remove barriers to economic growth, and take the voice of the people to Washington D.C.’ stated Bresso. ‘Currently, the nation is facing significant troubles with a debt in excess of $15 Trillion and a staggering $1.1 Trillion deficit.’

Bresso was nominated by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S Senate on October 2, 2008 to serve on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).

In 2009, Bresso served as Chair of the EAC. In contemplation of a Congressional run, she resigned recently after asking President Barack Obama to withdraw his nomination of her to serve a second term.

Prior to her appointment to the EAC, Bresso served as the Director of Legislative Operations and Counsel for the Committee on House Administration in the U.S Congress. Previously, she served as a policy advisor to former Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., and worked as an attorney-advisor for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where she reviewed and processed applications for federal trademark registration.

Bresso has also served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Arrie W. Davis, in the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.

Bresso received her Juris Doctor from Western New England College School of Law in 1999 and her Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1995.”
