WE SERVE WHERE WE LIVE & WORK.

Dr. Elba Garcia, Dallas County Commissioner for District 4,  embodies a new breed of professional women in the 21st  century. Beyond her community leadership, she is a wife,  mother, and dentist with two doctorate degrees and a private  practice. She is a role model for women, Latinos, immigrants  and anyone who strives to succeed.   Prior to becoming the first Latina elected to serve in the Dallas  County Commissioners Court in November 2010, she served in  the Dallas City Council from 2001 to 2009. During her tenure,  council members unanimously chose her to serve as Dallas  Mayor Pro Tem and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem. In addition to her  love for the community and its wellbeing, she was inspired to  run for commissioner to establish the District Attorney’s Animal  Cruelty Unit.  Commissioner Garcia is known for problem solving, always  advocating for better services for Dallas County taxpayers and  more transparency in government. This can be seen across her  myriad public service responsibilities as chair of the Dallas County Criminal Justice Advisory  Board, DWI Task Force, New Life Opportunities, Dallas County Facilities Management  Committee and the North Texas Behavioral Health Authority. She is also a board member of the  Public Employee Benefits Cooperative and Continuous Improvement Steering Committee.   Commissioner Garcia’s devotion to the community extends to serving on the advisory board of  Methodist Dallas Medical Center and the boards of Safer Dallas Better Dallas and the College  of Juvenile Justice and Psychology at Prairie View A&M University.
