🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re proud to announce our endorsement of Mayra Macias in her race for #IL04. Mayra has been on the front lines of making government work for working people. And as a #NoCorporatePAC member, she’s committed to putting people above corporations.
Hypothesis: if these districts have noticeably better turnout than districts with meh options ( #IL01, #IL04, #IL11, #IL17) then there's a strong argument that the people who get excited about Leftist politics actually show up in the numbers.
And we've got much more than just dates! Did you know that in CA, if an incumbent does not run for reelection, the filing deadline is extended by five days? This rule is intended to prevent the shenanigans we just saw in #IL04, and this detail—plus many more like it—is also included in our calendar.
Former Latino Victory Fund executive director Mayra Macias is running as a Democratic-aligned independent one month after Rep. Chuy Garcia engineered his retirement to ensure that only his preferred candidate would be able to run in next year’s Democratic primary. #IL04

Actually being on the ground in #IL04 has made me realize how much of a beltway issue the whole Chuy Garcia coronating his own successor thing is.
Like, outside of a few Independents who are trying to potentially launch runs now, it has not really resonated here at all
Remind me to post a plan for the #IL04 race.
In IL-04, Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL) won’t be running for re-election. #IL04 #Twill

#IL04 proposal: in the next [X] days, politically active people in the district caucus and decide if they want a write-in candidate.
If there are one to three write-in candidates who are popular, do the work of letting people know they can write-in options beyond who is on the ballot.
Illinois Democrat Jesús "Chuy" Garcia Expected to Retire; Chief of Staff Files for Seat

Shady move from Dem Rep. Chu Garcia.
Today is the last day in Illinois to file for the 2026 election.
Garcia waited until today to announce his retirement, and hours before the deadline his Chief of Staff filed to run.
So the voters of #IL04 don't get a choice/primary in this safe blue seat.
So, Chuy Garcia filed to run for re-election in #IL04. But, just a few moments ago, his Chief of Staff also filed to run in the Democratic primary, theoretically against him.
Is Chuy going to drop out at the last minute and let his Chief of Staff waltz into the seat?
What would be the most Right Wing outcome in Illinois Dem primaries?

I've screenshot the #IL07 district (the green) and put a red squib that came out as a "6" show where Broadview is.
(BTW, the pink in the upper right is #IL09. The red that wraps around in #IL04, represented by Rep. Chuy Garcia.)
@casten.house.gov Seriously? You took the coward’s way out? How hard would it have been to vote NO?

I had the chance to visit Oxxford Clothes, a Workers United union shop in #IL04 and see firsthand the dedication and craftsmanship their team holds. It’s clear that fair wages, safe working conditions, and a unifying voice have encouraged and strengthened their workforce!
I stood w/the General Consulate of Mexico in Chicago and the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to educate our Latino owned businesses how to protect their workers and businesses. #IL04 is home to so many successful Latino businesses and I'm here to ensure they have the tools to be successful!
¡Feliz Día de los Reyes Magos! A todos los que celebran en #IL04 y en todo el país y América Latina, que los regalos de los Reyes Magos les brinden alegría y prosperidad.
Happy Three Kings Day! To those who celebrate in #IL04 and throughout the country and Latin America, may the gifts of the three wise men bring you joy and prosperity.
After a busy day, I am officially sworn into the 119th Congress!
Thank you #IL04 for trusting me to represent you again in the House of Representatives. I return to Congress with a clear determination to continue fighting for your priorities and against extreme Republican policies.
Despite Trump winning it, progressive Democratic Congressman Chuy Garcia easily carried Burbank in his dominant re-election win in #IL04. He won pretty much everywhere in the city outside of the WWC west.
The Trump/Chuy voter is real!
