John,
Our campaign to continue representing our congressional district's most important values is already making the headlines just a few days into the General Election.
Here's what WTTW, the Chicago Sun Times, CBS News, had to say about our victory for Illinois' 4th Congressional District:

"García on Tuesday staved off a challenge from 15th Ward Chicago Ald. Ray Lopez in Illinois’ 4th Congressional District…
“Our movement is strong, our movement is bold and we are progressive — and don’t forget it — we are effective,” García said during his victory speech. “We need to stand strong together and united. Our work together will be tough, but we are tougher and we demonstrated it time and time again.”

Jesús “Chuy” García is the Congressman of Illinois’ 4th Congressional District and one of the first Mexican immigrants to be sworn into the US Congress. Since taking office in 2019, Chuy has become a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and Deputy Whip of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
As a progressive community leader and public servant for almost 40 years, Chuy has been recognized for his extensive work fighting for immigration rights, universal health care, criminal justice reform, and workers’ rights.
In 2015, Chuy emerged as a national leader when he challenged Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and became the first candidate in Chicago history to push an incumbent mayor into a runoff election. Chuy received an outpouring of local and national support and helped reawaken the independent progressive movement in Chicago.
Chuy has received many distinctions for his tireless advocacy of social justice. Chuy and his wife, Evelyn, continue to reside in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood where they enjoy the company of their three children and several grandchildren.
