"Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) angered some of her Democratic colleagues by unexpectedly triggering the vote last week. García's office sent out talking points to colleagues arguing the motion "creates distraction and divisiveness among Democrats" and is a "ploy that our opponents will use for their own gain."

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) triggered a vote that angered some Democratic colleagues. García's office circulated talking points calling the motion a distraction, divisive among Democrats and a ploy opponents could exploit. A two-page resolution formally expresses disapproval of García for dropping his reelection bid just before Illinois' filing deadline, which left his chief of staff, Patty Garcia, as the sole candidate on the primary ballot. The resolution states that García's actions are beneath the dignity of his office and incompatible with the Constitution. García says last-minute pleas from his wife and doctor prompted his retirement for health and family reasons.
