On Wednesday, March 1, in honor of the conclusion of Black History Month and the start of Women’s History Month, Garcia paid tribute to the “undisputed queen of pop and R&B,” Beyoncé.
“I rise today to commemorate the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month by honoring an individual who represents both so well,” Rep.
