Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Sylvia is a strong and steady voice for equal rights in the halls of power. Senator Garcia's record on human and civil rights has been recognized by many organizations over the course of her career. In 2017, she was honored by the Houston GLBT Political Caucus and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund among others. Her fight on behalf of trans Texans is second to none among Democratic senators, including introducing legislation that would make gender marker changes a predictable and clear civil process versus the current system that is uncertain, expensive and requires a lawyer and court proceedings.
