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

- 🚨 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.

- 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.

- Five years after his passing, we honor John Lewis by continuing his fight. As Trump and Abbott try to rig Texas’s congressional maps, we make #GoodTrouble—just like he taught us. Voting rights. Fair maps. Real representation. The fight isn’t over.

- 🍅 Trump’s push to end the Tomato Suspension Agreement (TSA) by July 14 would trigger a 17% tariff on tomatoes imported from Mexico. Salsa will be pricier, shelves emptier, and groceries more expensive. Tens of thousands of jobs, including 30,000 Texans, will be at risk.

- At a time when lawmakers face rising threats of violence, Randy Fine’s racist, Islamophobic smear is vile and dangerous. Hate like this has no place in Congress, or anywhere. An attack on one is an attack on all. I stand with my colleague @repilhan.bsky.social
- Imagine thinking that “support the troops” means letting banks keep $80 million they stole from service members, veterans, and their families. Trump is allowing this to happen under his watch.
- Yes, that’s me. Yes, same outfit. Yes, we’ve been up all night fighting to protect your healthcare. We’re here to tell your stories—so share them with us: 👉 democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory @housedemocrats.bsky.social
- @housedemocrats.bsky.social are united against Trump’s #BigUglyBill, which will gut Medicaid and SNAP for millions of Americans. Shame on Congressional Republicans for ramming this abomination of a bill through the House at the expense of working families, seniors, veterans, and children.
- .@housedemocrats.bsky.social are united and fighting back against the Trump and Republican Big Ugly Bill that guts Medicaid and SNAP, and we’re standing firm to protect the working families, children, seniors, and veterans who depend on them. We will not stop.
- In Texas, 1 in 5 kids go hungry. Yet Senate Republicans have abandoned all decency & voted for the largest cut to SNAP food assistance in U.S. history. They are literally taking food from the mouths of children, seniors & veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We have to stop this cruelty
- Trump’s Big Ugly Bill sells out working families. Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass this bill, which slashes Medicaid and the ACA, ripping health care from 17 million people. In Texas alone, more than 1.6 million would lose health care coverage and nursing homes will be forced to shut down
- Donald Trump’s One Big, Ugly Bill just passed the Senate. 🚨 One of the most devastating bills for working people in U.S. history. ⬇️
