García's congressional office announced that García, Fitzpatrick, and Markey reintroduced the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act to improve wages and working conditions for airport service workers. García said the bill seeks to ensure airport workers receive dignity and compensation for their work.
Assessments
Garcia fulfilled the promise because the commitment was to support the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act, not necessarily to enact it. In the 119th Congress, while serving as U.S. Representative for Illinois' 4th District, he was the House sponsor of H.R. 9678 and publicly reintroduced the bill with Rep. Fitzpatrick and Sen. Markey to improve wages, benefits, and working conditions for airport service workers. That is direct same-term federal legislative support and leadership on the promised measure.
