Luis Garcia, Jr. is the State Representative for Florida’s 107th district which includes portions of Miami Beach, the City of Miami and Little Havana. He was first elected in 2006 after having served as a Commissioner for the city of Miami Beach for 7 years. From 1996-1999, the representative served as the city’s Fire Department Chief. Mr. Garcia is also the Vice Chairman of the state Democratic Party. He joined the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition in 2008 because he believes that nuclear should be included in the conversation of how to combat global climate change.
In a July interview with Hispanic Link Magazine, the representative noted ‘ has to be better conveyed to the country. People are still scared from the film, The China Syndrome, the Three Mile Island accident and Chernobyl disaster. There is a long way to gaining more converts.”
