He also has served as Deputy of the LV Legislature of the Mexican Congress (2006-2009) representing Michoacán.[1]

Reyna García was accused of having ties to the Knights Templar Cartel in April 2014 and was sent to prison for organized crime charges a month later.[2] Guillermo Valencia Reyes, former mayor of Tepalcatepec, Michoacán, tweeted on 16 June 2014, that Governor Fausto Vallejo was using Reyna García as a scapegoat to protect his son, Rodrigo Vallejo Mora. Two days later Vallejo resigned.[3] Reyna García was released from prison in December 2018. He was the only politician convicted after the investigations undertaken by federal commissioner Alfredo Castillo Cervantes.[4]
