Rebecca Marques

Prior to joining HRC's Project One America as the Texas State Director, Rebecca Marques served as a Political Strategist for the ACLU of Texas. In that role, she led the organization’s LGBTQ and reproductive rights work at the Texas state legislature and in advocacy efforts across the state. During her time with the ACLU, Rebecca worked closely with HRC and the allied organizations working to promote LGBTQ equality. Previously, she served as the Florida campaign organizer for Oceana’s Climate and Energy Campaign, where she successfully led bipartisan local and statewide initiatives to prevent the expansion of offshore drilling to the Atlantic. Marques holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Central Florida, which is where she got her first taste of political organizing -- and has never looked back!
