House passes Chuy García disapproval resolution that divided Democrats
The House voted 236-183 to reprimand Rep. Chuy Garcia for undermining a free primary by positioning his chief of staff as the sole Democratic candidate.
- The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday rebuked Rep. Chuy Garcia, D-Ill., passing a resolution by Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., on a 236-183 vote.
- Garcia's late retirement announcement left Patty Garcia, chief of staff, as the lone Democratic filer after she submitted paperwork hours before the Nov. 3 filing deadline.
- Procedural votes split along intra-party lines Monday night, with nearly every Democrat except Perez voting to quash and House Democratic leaders defending Garcia as a `progressive champion` and a `good man`.
- Facing swift blowback, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., defied her party by introducing the rebuke, prompting jeers from House colleagues who jeered her during a Monday evening speech.
- Amid momentum on the Epstein files, the Garcia rebuke raised broader questions about succession norms and representation for parts of western Chicago and its suburbs.
