Organization Endorsements
Dr. Jess Garcia is proud to be endorsed by these leading organizations committed to the future of Rochester. Together, we are building a campaign powered by community values and professional integrity.
"Dr. Jess Garcia is experienced, smart, and cares deeply about every community member, no matter where they come from. As someone who has been disabled since birth, Jess has taken the time to sit down with me to hear me out on issues regarding the disability community here in Rochester, especially the struggles many of us who use mobility devices face around town. I greatly appreciate that she has never hesitated to have the uncomfortable conversations with me that a lot of people walk away from. As someone who is neurodivergent, my wording isn't always the best, and Jess has taken the time to understand me and to work with me on projects in the past. Dr. Jess Garcia truly goes above and beyond for everyone around her."

""People First" is not just a campaign slogan for Jess Garcia. Jess is genuine and embodies authenticity. If elected, Jess will resign from her current position to serve as the Mayor of Rochester full-time, demonstrating her commitment to always putting the people of Rochester first."
Rochester Resident

"Jess Garcia stands clearly above the field of candidates for Rochester Mayor. Her record as an elected official shows that she shares the values of our community and will lead with kindness and strength. She will stand up for everyday folks who live in Rochester, regardless of where they come from, how they worship, or who they love. Please join me in supporting Jess Garcia in the primary election, August 11."
