Grace Garcia

Grace Garcia, executive director of Annie’s List, died in a car crash. Annie’s List is an organization dedicated to electing Democratic women who support reproductive rights (abortion rights). The automobile crash occurred in Waxahachie, Texas.

“It is with a tremendous sense of loss that we announce the passing of our executive director and leader, Grace Garcia, who lost her life in a car accident Monday afternoon,” Amber Mostyn, Annie’s List board chair said in a released statement. “Grace Garcia was the passionate, tough, visionary leader we needed at Annie’s List. The best possible tribute to her life is to continue the work Grace started on behalf of Annie’s List and women across Texas. Thoughts, prayers and privacy are appreciated at this time.”

Grace Garcia was a second generation Mexican-American. She was born in West Germany but considered San Antonio home. She told Express-News that Army brats pick the cities they decide to call home.

Grace Garcia has an impressive resume. She worked for President Clinton’s White House. She also worked for the state department.

This morning gubernatorial Democratic candidate Wendy Davis released the following statement.

Wendy Davis Statement On Passing of Grace Garcia

Fort Worth— Wendy Davis, candidate for governor, released the following statement on the passing of Annie’s List Executive Director Grace Garcia:

“I have been profoundly blessed to have shared moments of my life with my friend, Grace Garcia, a woman with a rare combination of guts and tenderness who I will deeply miss.

Where others saw challenges, Grace saw possibilities and was always inspiring others to believe in her vision. That’s why, under her guidance, Annie’s List had its most extraordinary year ever. Her absence in the landscape of Texas politics and what she meant to us personally will leave a void that simply cannot be filled.

Grace did so much for me and for countless Texas women. She was a part of this extraordinary journey we’ve been working on together that wouldn’t have been possible without her. I know she will be with us every step of the way in our hearts and will continue to inspire us every single day.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. I am deeply saddened by this tragic and sudden loss.”
