STATE REPRESENTATIVE JOSEY GARCIA
Texas’ 124th District
Service: U.S. Air Force
Josey Garcia is a retired Air Force veteran running for Texas House District 124. She began her military career at Lackland Air Force Base, which led to her making San Antonio her forever home after twenty years of service to our country. Josey’s sense of duty and a desire to give back to her community is what has motivated her to run for office. She’s now a small business owner whose life experiences have shaped her political goals.
Her top priorities are fixing the foster care crisis in our state, developing post-COVID assistance programs for small and minority-owned businesses, improving veteran resources, and creating additional resources for seniors, those with disabilities, families, and caretakers.
Josey spent part of her childhood in the foster care system, therefore, she knows the battles many children and caregivers face. She believes it’s incumbent upon our state officials to fix Child Protective Services to ensure the safety and security of every child in the system with the ultimate goal of finding a forever home.
She is a mother of eight children, with two of whom are disabled. Therefore, she possesses an intimate knowledge of what needs to be done to provide adequate assistance and resources to families.
Having served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Josey has a unique understanding of the district's rich military history and veteran specific issues. She understands the mental health issues these brave men and women battle with every day, which ultimately affect our entire community. Josey has been a constant advocate on these issues, from testifying before local and state governments to volunteering and organizing groups to support these causes. She is dedicated to serving her community each and every day and will always make the needs of her constituents a top priority.
