> "This actually will be a great way for me to be more involved in my neighborhood and work actively toward more progressive change," Garcia told The Hill. And the other similar wording doesn't quite match "advance progressive causes", and sounds like commentary by the newspaper itself: > Garcia is hopeful that the position will allow for pursuing progressive goals for the district through community organizing. Still, I wonder why you'd think the "work actively toward more progressive change" quote couldn't be paraphrased as “advance progressive causes.”
