Rep. Sylvia Garcia, representing Texas' 29th district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, recently addressed several pressing issues through a series of tweets. Her statements touched on topics ranging from consumer protection to healthcare and voting rights.
On March 6, 2025, Rep. Garcia criticized former President Donald Trump's actions concerning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). She stated, "Trump’s attacks on the CFPB aren’t just hurting consumers—they’re costing dedicated public servants their jobs. The CFPB was created to protect Americans from financial abuse and fraud, but dismantling it only helps big banks and corporate greed." In her tweet, she expressed support for @NTEUnews.
Later that day, Garcia commented on healthcare policy changes proposed by Republicans. On March 6, 2025, she tweeted "Republicans say they’re not coming for your Medicare and Medicaid. That’s a lie. The Congressional Budget Office just confirmed the MAGA budget would require the largest Medicaid cuts in history—all to hand more tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy." She highlighted concerns about potential impacts on working families.
On March 7, 2025, Rep. Garcia reflected on historical civil rights events with a focus on voting rights legislation. She noted "60 years ago, hundreds of courageous marchers risked their lives on the Edmund Pettus Bridge to demand the right to vote." Garcia expressed pride in honoring this legacy by working towards introducing new voting rights legislation.
