Surrounded by union leaders and Democratic party elected officials, Hidalgo thanked her supporters for helping her block walk, raise money and host campaign events Garcia also was reelected Tuesday, fending off a challenge from Jack Morman, whom he ousted from the Precinct 2 commissioner post four years ago.
