Escondido, CA – On Monday, January 30, 2023, the Escondido City Council appointed Christian Garcia to fill its District 3 vacancy after interviewing 10 candidates.
The vacancy was created as a result of the adoption of new district boundaries that were created by the Independent Redistricting Commission in 2022. The term of the vacant seat is from the date of the official swearing-in on February 1, 2023 until December 11, 2024.
Christian Garcia is a resident of Escondido for the past 4.5 years, and works as a teacher. He holds a Master’s Degree in Public Policy from the University of Southern California, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of California, Irvine. Mr. Garcia has served in the Peace Corps and has been a trustee at Palomar College since 2020.
Mr. Garcia shared his top three priorities for the City are to draw more housing development for median income families; provide investment opportunities for new and developing industries to increase employment and raise wages; and to increase safety by funding the police, providing services to/shelter our current homeless population, and improve partnerships with anti-gang organizations.
