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 theHouse 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 strategistDavid Axelrod , slammed Garcia's move as Chicago-style "machine tactics" and "election denial of another kind."[ 88] [ 89] Hakeem Jeffries urged members to oppose the rebuke, calling García “a progressive champion” and “a good man” who was the “voice of the voiceless.”[ 90] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also criticized the effort to punish him, warning that it set a dangerous precedent.[ 91]
