On July 21, 2025, Garcia posted: “Catch me live on @MSNBC tonight at 6:45 PM CT on @weeknightmsnbc with @MichaelSteele @AliciaMenendez & @SymoneDSanders.

Later that same day, Garcia tagged several media personalities and Democratic groups in another post: @MSNBC @weeknightmsnbc @MichaelSteele @AliciaMenendez @SymoneDSanders @HouseDemocrats @HouseDPCC.
Garcia has served as U.S. Representative for Texas’s 29th District since replacing Gene Green in 2019. She previously represented her constituents as a member of the Texas Senate from 2013 to 2018 and was born in San Diego, Texas in 1950 before moving to Houston. Garcia holds degrees from Texas Woman’s University (BA) and Texas Southern University (JD).
