78th District State House candidate Jon Rocha has issued a major statement on the sickening murder of Ruby Garcia in Grand Rapids this week.
Garcia's brutal death has stunned the nation.
"Biden and Whitmer's Southern Border Invasion has arrived in West Michigan, and now Ruby Garcia is gone---shot dead and thrown out of her car Friday night in Grand Rapids like nothing more than a piece of trash," Rocha said.
"While my heart goes out to her family, who have my full condolences, I am absolutely pissed. Her murder never should have happened---Joe Biden, Gretchen Whitmer, as well as those who aid and abet them, have blood on their hands."
Rocha also had strong words for Kent County, whose Sheriff has declared itself a "sanctuary county" for illegals invading the country.
"On day one, I will introduce legislation immediately stopping all state revenue sharing payments to Kent County, and any other municipality supporting the Southern Border Invasion," Rocha said. "Lowell and Alto are in my district, and I won't let Kent County endanger the lives of my constituents without a fight.
I'm not running to play games with the people who have been terrorizing our state for far too long---I'm running to stand up for Michigan families, and deliver real results for the people of the 78th District," Rocha said.

Saturday night at The Jefferson in Hastings---with over 150 guests in attendance---Rocha officially announced he is running for State Representative in the 78th State House District.
According to a release, "Jon Rocha is known as a strong fighter for constitutionally conservative values across the state, and in the 78th District, including fighting on the frontlines against Whitmer's tyrannical lockdowns and mandates, as well as fighting for parental rights against radical leftist school boards trying to push racist CRT on our kids, and bring explicit porn into our schools."
Rocha says he is committed to representing the 78th District the way a REAL Conservative should:
“This is an extremely difficult time for our state," Rocha said in a statement Monday. "Biden and Whitmer's inflation---and the Democrat’s Southern border invasion---are crushing Michigan families, destroying small businesses, and suffocating our farmers.
We need a State Representative who votes to cut spending, not write Governor Whitmer another blank check. We need a State Representative who votes for policies that help the people of the 78th District, not help Governor Whitmer and her special interest cronies.
We need a State Representative who delivers REAL Conservative representation for the people of the 78th District---a fighter who has proven he can stand up to the establishment. I'm a pissed off Marine ready to take the fight to Lansing, and I'll never back down."
State Rep. Gina Johnsen's horrendous vote for Whitmer's controversial "budget from hell" last year inspired Rocha to run after significant encouragement from throughout the district.
"Gretchen Whitmer is drunk off power, and Gina Johnsen voted to buy her another 5th, and give her the keys to the car," Rocha said. "The party's over. I have been asked to run by people across the district who want REAL Conservative representation in Lansing."
