U.S. Representative Sylvia Garcia, who serves Texas’s 29th congressional district, posted a series of updates on her social media account on May 11, 2026. The tweets covered recognition of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, passport renewal reminders for summer travelers, and the current price of gasoline in Texas.
In her first tweet of the day, Garcia stated: “It’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! I am proud to represent a vibrant #AANHPI community in TX-29 and will continue fighting to ensure their voices are heard in the halls of Congress.” (May 11, 2026).
Later that afternoon, Garcia addressed travel preparedness and thanked local officials: “Thank you to the Houston Passport Agency for meeting with Team Garcia.
If you’re planning summer travel, make sure your passport is up to date and submit renewals early to avoid delays.” (May 11, 2026).
Her final tweet for the day focused on gas prices in Texas: “Today, Texans are paying $4.034 for gas.” (May 11, 2026).
Sylvia Garcia has represented Texas’s 29th District in Congress since replacing Gene Green in 2019. She previously served as a member of the Texas Senate from 2013 to 2018.
