Rep. Sylvia Garcia

@sylviagarcia.house.gov

Member of Congress, TX-29. Includes Houston, Galena Park, Jacinto City, South Houston & Pasadena. Passionate about public service. Fighting for working people.

The Supreme Court sided with Texas in allowing an unconstitutional and racially gerrymandered map to stand. While I am deeply disappointed by this decision, I have fought for my constituents’ representation every step of the way, and I will not stop now. (1/2)

Over 103,000 people in TX-29 rely on SNAP to put food on the table. That’s why I’m joining my colleagues in calling on the USDA to use emergency funds to keep benefits flowing during this Republican shutdown. No family should lose food assistance because of Republican games in Washington.

With SNAP funding set to lapse, 42M children and families are at risk of experiencing hunger.  I am leading 213 House Democrats in calling on the USDA to use contingency reserve dollars and all legal authority to fund SNAP during this shutdown.   Read more ➡️ hayes.house.gov/index.cfm?a=...

Republicans created a health care crisis and shut down the government. Families are paying the price. Join me Wednesday at 6:00 PM for a Telephone Town Hall on how we fight back and protect affordable care for Houston families.

Republicans just canceled votes again and refused to even consider the Democrats’ bill to pay our troops. While Republicans extend their vacation, our service members are working through the shutdown without a paycheck.

111,000 people in TX-29 will see their health care costs skyrocket if Republicans don’t act to save ACA tax credits. Today, I met with El Centro de Corazón to discuss how the Republicans Big, Ugly Bill and rising costs are threatening access to care for families across our community.

Republicans and the Felon in the White House have shut down the government, putting vital services and millions of families at risk. While they play games with people’s lives, my office remains open and ready to fight for the people of TX-29.

In just six days the government is set to shut down. And let’s be clear, this chaos is the Republicans’ fault. They would rather cater to the Felon in the White House than do their jobs and keep the government running. Working families pay the price.

Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. If the government shuts down because they refuse to pass a bipartisan spending bill, it will be on Republicans.

The Trump administration is tearing down protections for immigrants, dismantling Temporary Protected Status and parole programs that keep families safe I joined @ramirez.house.gov to demand Congress pass the American Dream & Promise Act and give Dreamers and long-time residents a path to citizenship

I’ll be attending Saturday’s public hearing on redistricting to Texas’s congressional map. 📅 July 26 | 🕚 11 AM 📍 University of Houston – Student Center, Houston Room (Room 220) The public is welcome to attend and speak on the record.

Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election—because he knows his ideas are losing. He’s targeting Texas because it’s a red state with leaders who’ll do his bidding. He called the Governor and said: I need five seats. This isn’t democracy. It’s a power grab by the Felon in the White House.

Just two weeks ago, Republicans and Trump blew a $4 trillion hole in the deficit while throwing millions off their health care. Now they're cutting $9 billion from Sesame Street, public radio, and foreign food assistance for people living in poverty abroad.

Republicans could learn something from the Count on Sesame Street. $9 billion in funding cuts mean nothing when you just voted two weeks ago to drive up the deficit by $4 trillion—all to give billionaires a tax break they don't need. The numbers just don't add up. This is fiscal irresponsibility.
