Why I'm Running
Fernando Garcia
I am running for office of City Council in District 9 as a member of the Independent party.
Occupation: Business Owner
Fun fact about me: I love to work out at City Boxing, practicing jiu jitsu and boxing. I used to play club rugby for local teams for 6 years. My wife and I have a little shitzu dog named Lulu who loves to run the house. I currently live in Kensington with my wife Cynthia, who is a San Diego County Social Worker, and I have two sons, Joshua and Alexander.
Past Experience:
I was born in Los Angeles, CA and raised in the City of Walnut (a suburb of LA County). At 18, I came to San Diego to attend SDSU where I earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice. I started my professional career in financial services where I became a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Employee Benefit Specialist. I have also worked in the real estate industry for the past 15 years as a real estate broker. I am currently CEO of Schools Solar, a company I started in 2017.
Community Involvement:
I serve in many different organizations. I am a member of the San Diego Association of Realtors and I sit on the housing opportunity committee. I am an active member with Represent US San Diego, which fights to fix our election process and stop political bribery. I am also a member of the Kensington Talmadge Business Association and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
I have volunteered with many local organizations throughout the years. I have coached Pop Warner football, AYSO soccer, and high school rugby. I have worked with foster youth as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and as a mentor for Promises 2 Kids.
Main Concern:
Fernando Garcia cares deeply about **Ranked Choice Voting - Electoral Reform**. I want to bring RCV to San Diego so people can vote for who they want without the spoiler effect.
