    In this enlightening episode of "The Idea People," we sit down with the trailblazing representative of California's 42nd Congressional District, covering Long Beach and Southeast Los Angeles. Elected in November 2022, Robert Garcia brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the political landscape, holding a master’s degree from USC and a Doctorate in Education from Cal State Long Beach.

    In our conversation, we delve into the critical importance of getting out the vote, focusing on educating young people about their civic duty and the power of their vote, regardless of the state's political leaning.

    We also get personal, talking about Robert Garcia's love for comic books and whether this passion extends to the Marvel and DC cinematic universes.
