**Max García Steps In as Senator Representing Baja California**
Max García, formerly a federal and local deputy, has officially taken on the role of Senator of the Republic for Baja California. This change comes after Gustavo Sánchez took a leave of absence for personal reasons.
In his inaugural speech, García committed to maintaining the legislative agenda of the National Action Party (PAN), which prioritizes tackling corruption, enhancing public security and justice, driving economic development, promoting social welfare, conducting foreign policy, and advocating for human rights. “I commit to carrying forward the legislative agenda pushed by PAN, always looking out for the citizens’ well-being and upholding the rule of law,” García stated.
The senator emphasized the PAN’s position as a responsible and steadfast opposition, highlighting recent months where party senators have focused on initiatives to strengthen state institutions and promote democratic governance. García’s first official activity involved a meeting with Rafael Fernández de Castro from the Center for Mexican American Studies and the rector of the University of California in San Diego, Pradeep Khosla. Senator Ruth González Silva, President of the North American Foreign Relations Committee, also attended. The meeting aimed to enhance collaborative ties between Mexico and the United States through studies and analyses of critical binational issues.
With this, García López begins his legislative duties reaffirming his commitment to the values and propositions of the PAN, which are centered around ensuring the welfare of citizens.
