The former aerospace executive and advocate on megafire protection and prevention is part of a group of “new Democrats” who believe in working across party lines to solve problems for Americans. We need more people like him in Congress.
If the Democratic Party were to dream up the ideal candidate to challenge Republican Rep. Mike Garcia, a former Navy fighter pilot and business executive, for the 27th Congressional District they couldn't have imagined someone much better than George Whitesides. In a district that stretches from Santa Clarita to Lancaster and where aerospace is one of the leading industries, Whitesides has had a space-focused career in both the private and public sectors.
When he won the seat in a special election in 2020 after Democrat Katie Hill resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, Garcia was a political unknown with an appealing record of military service, a business-friendly platform, and real-world experience in real estate and as an executive at Raytheon. But his votes quickly revealed that Garcia is no moderate. After the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, he voted against certifying the election results.
