MEET JOHNNY
Born and Raised in San Antonio, Johnny Garcia is a proud graduate of Memorial High School. Raised by a strong mother in a working class household, Johnny knows firsthand the challenges that everyday Texans face. From a young age, he understood that if he wanted a better life, he’d have to earn it through hard work, discipline, and service.
Johnny worked construction while attending St. Philip’s community college, determined to grind out a better future the only way he knew how — hard work and education. At the age of 21, he answered the call to serve and joined the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Johnny started his law enforcement career nearly twenty years ago working in the jail, where he led the Inmate Worker Program—a second-chance initiative designed to rehabilitate people in custody through job training and reintegration planning.
From there, he was promoted to patrol, and within just six months was selected to join the elite SWAT Crisis Negotiation Team. As a hostage negotiator, he learned how to handle high-pressure, life-or-death situations with calm, clarity, and compassion—skills that define real leadership.
As a Sheriff’s Deputy, Johnny has faced violent criminals, helped get drugs off our streets, and helped victims of domestic violence.
WHAT HE'S FIGHTING FOR
An old school Democrat, Johnny is fighting to lower costs and to make it easier for Texans to get ahead. He’s running for people like his mom, his fellow deputies on patrol, and their children. He believes hard work should be rewarded, healthcare should be affordable, and safety should be everyone’s priority. And despite what Republicans promised, they’ve lied every step of the way.
Johnny is stepping up to fight for the working class of Texas, because when working families are put first, Texas prospers. He’s running to make sure the people of District 35 see results… not in talking points, but in their wallets, their schools, and their neighborhoods.
He believes true public safety means more than tough talk, it means ensuring kids feel safe in school, families can access healthcare, and communities can thrive with affordable housing and economic opportunity. And it means doing the hard work in Washington to renew the American promise for everyone, no matter their background, zip code, or bank account.
