“Xela Garcia would add youthful representation to the board and new perspectives. She understands well the challenges and interests of District #6 and of the public schools of the city of Milwaukee. She can speak with authority about the major issues, and is a fierce advocate of art, music and language education within student success. She is a product of the bilingual program in MPS, is totally bilingual in Spanish and English, has parents who are MPS employees, and is a very active supporter of bilingualism. Please help get Xela elected to represent District #6 and the children and staff of the public schools.”

“I am excited to endorse Marcela “Xela” Garcia for the MPS School Board’s District #6. Xela Garcia will add important perspective and experience to the MPS Board. She importantly understands the District 6 community and is an important advocate for public schools, bilingualism, quality curriculum, the arts and music. She is an advocate for students and families on the many issues facing MPS. I fully support Xela knowing she will be an outstanding member of the School Board of Milwaukee Public Schools.”
