Monica Garcia is a councilwoman in Baldwin Park, California in Greater Los Angeles. She is a registered Democrat.
She was elected in November 2007. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Southern California and, while in college, was selected from a competitive pool of candidates to intern with the Office of the Speaker of the California State Assembly and the National Organization for Women Legal Defense and Education Fund (NOWLDEF) in Washington, D.C. She served as a field deputy to State Senator Gloria Romero in 2001 and was appointed to the Baldwin Park planning commission in 2002, serving as chair and co-chair.
A recall petition against her was filed in 2008, accusing her of failing to keep campaign promises, having ties to developers who work in the city, and unproven residency in Baldwin Park. As of 2010 she was still a member of the city council.
In July 2009, she announced that she would run for the California State Assembly in the 2010 election. By the end of 2009, she had collected more than $100,000 in campaign contributions.
Mango
Sitting in the park ready to munch
A tuna fish salad that's ready to crunch
A flock of wild geese overhead in a bunch
That ain't mayonnaise that lands on your lunch
Mango crazy- me go here me go there
Mango crazy- me go amigo everywhere
Mango
Senorita whistling by
Promising all with the flash of an eye
She's just thirteen she afterwards sighs
For one pretty face you get two years inside
Mango crazy- amigo here me go there
Mango crazy- me go crazy everywhere
'Cos there's so many ways in these dangerous days
To be caught unaware by the curls
Be walking the street, everything sweet
Then it's P O W that's the end of the world
Mango crazy -amigo here amigo there
Mango crazy -amigo me go everywhere
Mango
Where ever you go there's some jeopardy
People get mugged begging coins in the street
Sit on a bench you're stuck to the seat
You're watching tv another repeat
So mango crazy- me go here amigo there
Mango crazy- amigo here and everywhere
Mango crazy- amigo here me go there
