District 4

The 4th district is based in southwest Chicago, including Ashburn, Brighton Park, Clearing, Gage Park, Garfield Ridge, South Lawndale, West Elsdon, and West Lawn, and in the western Chicago suburbs, including Cicero and Berwyn. The incumbent is retiring-Democrat Chuy García, who was last elected with 67.5% of the vote.[2][65]

Democratic primary

Incumbent Chuy García, initially filed to run for another term but withdrew his nomination after the deadline to file a nomination passed. This resulted in the House of Representatives passing a motion to rebuke him by a margin of 236-183. He was accused of undermining the electoral process to ensure his Chief of Staff Patty Garcia was the only Democrat on the primary ballot. García said he was retiring for health reasons after consulting his doctor, and his wife asking him to retire. Democratic strategist David Axelrod, slammed Garcia's move as Chicago-style "machine tactics" and "election denial of another kind."[66][67] Still, García received notable support from colleagues. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries urged members to oppose the rebuke, calling García “a progressive champion” and “a good man” who was the “voice of the voiceless.”[68] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also criticized the effort to punish him, warning that it set a dangerous precedent.[69]
