ABOUT ME
I'm Carlos A. Garcia
Who Am I?
As a Nicaraguan immigrant and a child of war, I have cultivated a deep respect for the “American Dream.” Having come from chaos, a war-torn country, and poverty, I have built my own “American Dream” right here in the great City of Upland. As a dedicated family man and long-term resident of Upland, my personal and professional journey is deeply rooted in the community I proudly call home.
​
As a first-generation immigrant, I have fully embraced the entrepreneurial spirit. I am a proud business owner (CEO and CTO) of a thriving Information Technology and Social Media Marketing company. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology, a Master’s Degree in Educational Technology from Pepperdine University, and a CTE teaching credential from the University of San Diego.
​
As a current councilman and former Mayor Pro Tem of Upland City Council, I know the importance of a strong and safe community, which is why I’m proud to call myself “The Public Safety Candidate.” I am the ONLY candidate endorsed by San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus and numerous other law enforcement agencies within our region.
If our communities are safe, our businesses thrive. If our businesses are healthy, our families are financially stable and our children have the equal opportunities they so deserve.
​
With a focus on "Unity for Our Communities" and steering us "Back to Common Sense," I am committed to being the voice and change for District 29.
