 IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 878 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES November 17, 2025 Ms. Perez submitted the following resolution RESOLUTION Disapproving the behavior of Representative Jesús G. Chuy García of Illinois. 
 Whereas, on October 27, 2025, Representative Chuy García of Illinois filed nominating petitions to be on the Democratic primary ballot in March 2026; Whereas, on November 5, 2025, on the last day of filing, Representative García’s Chief of Staff, Patty García, submitted her own paperwork to enter the Democratic primary; 
 Whereas, on November 6, after the filing deadline, Representative García confirmed that he would not be seeking another term in 2026 and would be withdrawing his nominating petitions; Whereas Representative García’s Chief of Staff was the only Democrat who filed to run in the primary at the direction of Representative García, undermining the process of a free and fair election; and 
 Whereas Representative García’s actions are beneath the dignity of his office and incompatible with the spirit of the United States Constitution: Now, therefore, be it That the House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of the Representative from Illinois Mr. García.
