Jesús "Chuy" García is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 4th congressional district. A member of the Democratic Party, he has built a long career in Chicago and Illinois politics, having previously served in the Illinois Senate, on the Chicago City Council, and as a Cook County Commissioner. He is widely recognized as a progressive figure and has been a candidate for Mayor of Chicago in both 2015 and 2023.

Representative García has recently become a focus of national political attention due to controversy surrounding his retirement and succession plans. In late 2025, he faced significant internal party criticism and a formal congressional condemnation effort led by members of his own party.

Multiple news outlets reported that the U.S. House of Representatives advanced a resolution to formally condemn García. The motion was driven by allegations from fellow Democrats concerning the timing of his retirement announcement and accusations of orchestrated election maneuvers. This led to a notable intraparty dispute, with Democratic leadership initially failing to dismiss the condemnation vote, highlighting internal tensions over the handling of his congressional succession.
