2024 race briefing
Jesús “Chuy” García represents Illinois’s 4th Congressional District through the end of this term. A longtime Chicago progressive leader, he has fought for immigrant rights, public investment, and independent politics against machine control.
He announced in November 2025 that he would not seek another term. The 2026 Democratic nominee for IL-4 is Patty Garcia, his former chief of staff.
Why Political Revolution supports him: he spent decades building working-class power in Chicago and carrying that fight to Congress.
