Joe Garcia Joins Hillary Clinton’s Muslim Outreach Director for Eid Prayer

Miami, FL—Today, former Congressman Joe Garcia joined Hillary for America’s Muslim Outreach Director Farooq Mitha and South Florida’s Muslim community for prayer in honor of Eid al Adha. Following the service at the Islamic School of Miami (ISOM) Masjid, Garcia joined Mitha and hundreds of community members for a meet and greet.

“I was fortunate to spend time with so many South Florida Muslim families this morning to celebrate Eid,” said Joe Garcia, candidate for Florida’s 26th Congressional District. “Muslims are a valued part of our diverse community and Anti-Muslim rhetoric by Donald Trump or his Republican allies should not be tolerated. I invited Farooq Mitha to South Florida precisely because we need solidarity now most of all. And to all my Muslim friends I say: Eid Mubarak!”

Garcia asked Mitha to return to his native Florida to emphasize the need for understanding and cooperation in our community.

In Congress, Garcia delivered for his district. He successfully cut student loan rates for our students, which have since dropped to their lowest point in 10 years. Garcia was also an advocate for clean water and the environment, having secured $200 million for everglades restoration and an additional $2 million in funding for water quality improvements. He was also successful in securing federal dollars for job training in South Florida and for local transportation projects.
