Katie Garcia

I'm originally from Abilene, Texas where I grew up in an outspoken, self-proclaimed "Texas Democrat" household. My parents taught be to fight against injustice and serve my community while also recognizing my numerous privileges. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2018 and began my career in journalism in Texas then Nebraska. Now, I work as a communication strategist in Denver, and I care deeply about local politics and the creation of more equitable systems and practices in our local, state and federal governments. In the next two years, I would like to offer my skills in strategic communication to increase awareness of the Colorado Young Democrats and its values and become an avid, reliable volunteer to move the organization forward. I plan to find new ways to increase our membership, build trust with our communities and create invaluable connections across the Democratic Party in our state.
