The Year of the Horse brings auspicious tidings – it’s a time for new beginnings, bold action, and change. I wish everyone in CD-29 and around the world a happy Lunar New Year!
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.
Immigrants strengthen our communities, our economy, and our democracy. Today and every day, I’m standing up for policies that protect families and uphold human dignity. #ToImmigrantsWithLove
Families in TX-29 will be forced to pay $1,980 more this year because of Trump’s tariffs and the Big Ugly Law. I’m fighting back.
New photos show Trump with sexual predator and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The public and the victims deserve to know the truth. Release the full files. No cover-ups.
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!
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)
Donald Trump could release the Epstein files today. He has the power. He simply refuses to act. Survivors have waited years for justice and accountability. Release the files and give them the truth they deserve. @housedemocrats.bsky.social
BREAKING: President Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal.
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=...
While Republicans shut down the government and threaten affordable health care, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back for working families. Join me TOMORROW Wednesday at 6:00 PM for a Telephone Town Hall to discuss how we protect health care and lower costs for Houston families.
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.
The @demwomencaucus.bsky.social is wearing purple for #PurpleThursday and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We stand with survivors, honor victims, and remain committed to ending domestic violence everywhere. If you or someone you know needs help, call 1-800-799-SAFE
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.
Republicans and their leader, the Felon in the White House, shutdown the government instead of protecting health care for millions.
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
🚨 Women’s safety must be a priority. I am leading a @demwomencaucus.bsky.social letter urging ICE to require agents to visibly and clearly identify themselves during immigration enforcement and hold impersonators fully accountable. ⬇️
DWC Members sent a letter calling out recent cases of people impersonating ICE to abuse women. We demand DHS and ICE wear visible identification to stop enabling impersonators. Women deserve to be safe. We’ll keep fighting.
🗳️ On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we honor those who fought to bring democracy closer to all of us, especially historically underrepresented communities long shut out of power.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Statement on Proposed Texas Congressional Maps
🚨 Republicans are illegally blocking $612 MILLION in approved funds from reaching schools in Texas. This is a huge blow to working families who depend on specialized learning courses & counseling to help their children succeed. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov
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.
“Fight fire with fire": The Texas Legislature is back in session with Republicans pushing to carve out five new GOP seats. @sylviagarcia.house.gov joins The Weeknight to discuss.
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.
While kids were asleep, House Republicans gutted PBS and global food aid for the first time in decades—just to please the Felon in the White House. I stand with the children, not Trump. I voted NO.
