Garcia: Greg Casar goes to Washington armed with optimism
Rep.-elect Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, left, and Rep.-elect Greg Casar, D-Texas, join newly-elected members of the House of Representatives at the Capitol for an orientation program, in Washington, Monday, Nov. 14, 2022. SAN ANTONIO — Greg Casar knows his congressional district is the product of gerrymandering.
The latest round of redistricting produced a new district better suited to Doggett, which opened up an opportunity in District 35 for Casar, who was then serving his third term on the Austin City Council.Casar hates gerrymandering. Nonetheless, he sees a silver lining in the way his district was stitched together.
Casar, 33, has devoted his career to advocating for the rights of workers, tenants, homeless individuals and those incarcerated for minor offenses. “But they have lived through this era of pandemic where they’ve lost family members, where people have lost jobs and where some of the biggest corporations and billionaires in the country have made trillions of dollars.”
