On the issues: Mike Garcia and Christy Smith on abortion, economy, gun laws and other hot-button issues.
On the issue: Mike Garcia — who has represented Democrats in the House since 2008 — said he plans to vote for the proposal but says he’s still evaluating it.
“I think it’s important for us as a nation to really think through these issues and come to some conclusions,” Garcia said. “I’m going to vote for it, but I am still going to look at it as a number of issues that need to be addressed.”
Smith said she plans to vote for the proposal, but has concerns about it.
“This is a very complex issue,” Smith said. “The legislation has some really good aspects, but I do have some concerns.”
Smith said she supports a woman’s right to an abortion.
“No woman should be denied the right to have an abortion,” she said. “That being said, as we develop these proposals, we need to look at them, too, as a package and how we can improve them for our constituents, for the people of Washington.”
