Bill > HRes878

This resolution formally disapproves the behavior of Representative Jesús G. "Chuy" García of Illinois, specifically addressing actions related to the 2026 Democratic primary election. The resolution highlights that on October 27, 2025, García filed nominating petitions, and on November 5, 2025, his Chief of Staff, Patty García, submitted her own paperwork to enter the primary. On November 6, after the filing deadline, García confirmed he would not seek another term and would withdraw his petitions. The resolution asserts that García's Chief of Staff was the only Democrat filing in the primary at his direction, which the resolution claims undermines the process of a free and fair election. Furthermore, the resolution argues that these actions are "beneath the dignity of his office and incompatible with the spirit of the United States Constitution." The final section formally states that the House of Representatives disapproves of Representative García's behavior, serving as an official rebuke of his electoral conduct.
