Washington — Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) announced it has endorsed Patty Garcia in Illinois’s 4th Congressional District.
“The daughter of Mexican immigrants, Patty Garcia is a trusted advocate in her community who has served for over a decade and a half alongside and on behalf of immigrant and working-class families,” said CPC PAC Co-Chairs Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar and Maxwell Frost. “Patty is running a bold progressive campaign championing Medicare for All, abolishing ICE and making the wealthy pay their fair share in order to build an economy that works for all of us. An experienced and capable public servant driven to make government responsive to the people it is supposed to serve, Patty Garcia will represent Illinois’s 4th District well in Congress and we are enthusiastic to support her campaign.”
“I am proud to receive the endorsement of the CPC PAC,” said Patty Garcia. Progressives have always led the fight for a better America, from the civil rights movement to the broader struggle for justice and dignity for immigrants and working families, and that courage is exactly what this moment demands. With Trump, a Republican-led Congress, and an extremist Supreme Court systematically eroding our Constitutional rights in real time, the CPC PAC represents the movement we need to protect our democracy. Together, we will defend voting rights and build the future every American deserves.”
Over the past three election cycles, the CPC PAC has raised over $13 million and invested in progressive candidates across the country. Over the decade, a majority of CPC PAC’s pre-primary endorsements have gone on to win their race in the general election. In 2024, the CPC was the only ideological caucus to send new members to Congress in 50% or more of races in which its affiliated PAC made a pre-primary endorsement.
