About

Kenneth W. Garcia

Thank you for visiting my personal commissioner website. Below, you will find my past and current leadership experience plus my commitments to the people.

Leading Since 2022

Fighting for People, Freedom, and Democracy.

Class President

2022 – 2023

In my first year at the West Valley Innovation Center, I ran for School President. Although I didn’t win, my passion for supporting classmates and staff stayed strong. The following year, I was elected Class President for my 7th-9th grade Computer Science class.

Class President

2023 – 2024

After a successful term as Class President, I moved to the 10th grade and joined the Computer Science class for grades 10-12. Though new to the class, I ran for Class President again. My past achievements and leadership earned me re-election by my classmates.

School President

2024 – 2025

After serving two consecutive terms to the Student Executive Board, I was encouraged by classmates to run for School President. Despite facing a well-known student, I remained determined and decided to engage in a strong campaign being the only candidate who campaigned class to class. At the end, my effort paid off and I won for a third consecutive year, this time as School President.

City Commissioner

2025 – 2027

Having the experience of being the only student in my school’s history to win three consecutive terms, I wanted to achieve more and be involved with the community. For this reason, I applied for the Parks and Recreation Commission’s Youth Commissioner position. On May 6, 2025, I was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission at 16 years old, marking the beginning of my future political career.

Supporting People

Government & Economic Reform

To support the American people we need to change the system from within by getting money out of politics and by using common sense for economic recovery

Supporting Freedom

Constitutional Reform

True freedom is not being able to own a gun, it is being free from: gun violence, government overreach, and foreign government intervention (AIPAC)

Two demons but one devil: Democracy is not just about being able to vote as even North Koreans have that option, true democracy is about giving people options and true fair competitive elections
