H. Res. 878

In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

November 18, 2025.
Whereas, on October 27, 2025, Representative Chuy Garcia 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 Garcia's 
Chief of Staff, Patty Garcia, submitted her own paperwork to enter the 
Democratic primary;
Whereas, on November 6, after the filing deadline, Representative Garcia 
confirmed that he would not be seeking another term in 2026 and would be 
withdrawing his nominating petitions;
Whereas Representative Garcia's Chief of Staff was the only Democrat who filed 
to run in the primary at the direction of Representative Garcia, 
undermining the process of a free and fair election; and
Whereas Representative Garcia's actions are beneath the dignity of his office 
and incompatible with the spirit of the United States Constitution: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of 
the Representative from Illinois Mr. Garcia.
Attest:

Clerk.
