Positions in brief
Garza has focused on increasing public involvement in city government and shaping commercial development along Parlier's growth corridors.
As a member of the Parlier city council since January 2023, Garza has pushed to create a formal planning commission so residents can better see and take part in the city's development process, including how long approvals take and what is happening with growth in Parlier. He also weighed in on a 2026 proposal for a new gas station near a mixed-use development site, saying he would prefer a different kind of business there, since a nearby approved project already will bring the area to three or four gas stations.
