Texas Representative Garnet Coleman

Since being first elected in 1991, Rep. Coleman has established himself as one of the most progressive members of the Texas House of Representatives. Rep. Coleman has been a leader in the Texas House advocating for a balanced approach of strengthened border security with a "path to citizenship" to bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows of the underground economy and rebuking the hardline anti-immigrant position of the state's conservative leadership.
