I believe winning back the majority in Congress can open space to change U.S. policy toward the region and the Global South. We will center working-class well-being, respect for human rights and respect for the sovereignty of Latin American nations.

Garcia said that if Congress changes hands, U.S. lawmakers would have space to change U.S. policy toward Latin America and the Global South, and committed to centering working-class well-being, human rights, and Latin American sovereignty.

Garcia signed a congressional letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio challenging U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere. The letter objected to unauthorized military force, economic coercion, and election interference, and urged policy based on sovereignty, international law, cooperation, and multilateral engagement.

The evidence shows Garcia took concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise, including diplomatic engagement at the Third Panamerican Congress and signing a congressional oversight letter pressing for Latin America policy grounded in sovereignty, human rights, multilateralism, and opposition to coercion. But the record does not show an enacted or implemented U.S. policy change that delivered the promised shift. Because he materially worked toward the outcome without completing it, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
