As Texas House Democrats left the state on Aug. 3 to stop Republicans’ redistricting plan, Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to remove them from office if they do not return.
But Rep. Linda Garcia (D-Mesquite) has a response to Abbott’s threats: She did not take on her position to appease the governor.
“I took on this position in order to represent my constituents,” Garcia said. “ If I am taking this drastic measure right now, it is because my constituents want me to take this drastic measure.”
