Delia Garcia
Delia Garcia (born May 13, 1977) was a Democratic member of the Kansas House of Representatives, representing the 103rd district.[1] She served from 2005–2010, and was a member of the Kansas Democratic Hispanic Caucus.
Career
Garcia, who has a Bachelor's degree from Wichita State University and a Master's in political science from St. Mary's University, Texas, worked as a professor at Butler Community College, as well as an assistant manager at Connie's Mexico Cafe.[2]
In 2010, rather than run for re-election herself, she helped longtime ally Ponka-We Victors file as the sole candidate in the Democratic primary election. (No Republican had bothered to run in the 103rd district since 1998.)[3] Victors has held the seat ever since.
