“Last November, 333 votes were the difference between our community having a representative who aligned himself with domestic terrorists — or one who aligns herself with American democracy,” said Smith on her Twitter account Wednesday. “In 2022, 334 votes are all it will take to right that wrong. Join us. Let’s get this done!”
As was written in a previous KHTS article, Christy Smith had previously filed paperwork to run for state assembly, though now Smith has made it clear that she is running for congressional office.
This campaign announcement comes after Smith lost to Mike Garcia due to a mere 333 votes in a close 2020 election run.
“This is not the end result we fought for, but I am proud of the strong, grassroots campaign we ran,” said Smith back during her 2020 concession statement to Garcia. “We exhausted every possible option, and did everything within our power to ensure that every voice in this election was heard. Nonetheless, we came up short.”

During the 2020 elections, data showed that voters registered as either no-party preference or any other political party other than Republican and Democratic tended to vote in favor of Republican candidates like Garcia.
In 2022, however, Smith hopes to win back the hearts and minds of Santa Clarita’s voting population.
Lance Trover, Mike Garcia campaign spokesperson, responded to the announcement with the following statement: “Failed politician Christy Smith is clearly hoping the third time’s a charm, but no matter how many times she runs and how many times she tries to reinvent herself with voters, the facts are clear: Smith supports higher taxes on working families, public funding of her congressional races while defunding our police, and a wide open border, and those are simply not the values of CA-25 families.”

Her opening inflammatory statement is why she is unfit to represent a cross-section of constituents. Mike himself, on his townhall call, condemned the actions of Jan 6 and also called it an insurrection. We all agree the actions of those were abhorrent. But Christy wants to say that anyone who doesnt have a (D) in their party designation is “aligned with Domestic terrorism”. Real nice way to bring people together who have different ideas on how to run the Country. We have already seen an administration who is completely opaque despite promising transparency and shows a back hand to the other party despite promising biartisanship. She is cut of the same divisive cloth and is not what we need at this time.
She just will not go away. The matter that makes me nervous or concerned is the new age group that will be able to vote in 2022. If Mike wants to stay he will need to target the younger age group. Sadly, she will pander and obtain those votes. She is so phony and fake and this district will suffer if she is elected.
Failed Christy, who cant seem to find a real job…
The same loser who thought that Katie Hill was qualified for something besides sex with a staffer
Get a real job Christy. If you can’t even win an election in your hometown, what would make anyone think you could ever be a strong representative? Sorry but Joe & Jane Public no longer wish to support your failed attempts at a political career.
Ugh . What am embarrassment.
Go on with your life very few are interested in you
No more D candidates dear lord. We need serious help before it’s too late for our community. Disbanding our police units and lowering the amount of police hired is dangerous. People need to wake up to what is going on and stop buying into the promise of utopia.
I do not support Christy Smith. I have no doubt if I met her face to face she would have the impression of a respectful, and problem solving new politician Unfortunately, she is running on the platform with the radical Left Wing – Democrats. This is not the same party that they were 30 years ago. The problem is that Christy Smith will bow like a puppet and submit to the mercy of any decision made by her party leaders: Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and their members. This means she will support abortion, legalizing drugs, open borders, and $0 cash bail for criminals. Recently, NY Gov. Cuomo implemented $0 cash bail in NY, and like D.A. Gascon of Los Angeles, crime is rising.
Smith was an embarrassment losing twice playing the role of “puppet”. Going for the trifecta should be a snap! Christy needs to just go away… CA 25 has no need for someone like her.
