HRES 878 United States House · 119th Congress

Disapproving the behavior of Representative Jesús G. Chuy García of Illinois.

HRES 878 is a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives disapproving Representative Jesús G. "Chuy" García of Illinois for his conduct in the 2026 Democratic primary process. The resolution states García filed his candidacy for the primary on October 27, 2025, and then directed his Chief of Staff to file her own candidacy on the November 5 filing deadline, after he had already filed. After the deadline, García withdrew his petition on November 6, 2025. The House concluded this behavior undermined election fairness and was inconsistent with the dignity of his office.
