WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Patty Garcia for Illinois’ 4th Congressional District.
“Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse Patty Garcia for Congress,” said Liz Gallagher, Executive Director of Elect Democratic Women. “Patty has proven her dedication to her community and the hardworking families she serves. From her lived experience as the daughter of immigrants, to fighting for tenants and homeowners facing rising costs, to securing resources for neighborhoods too often left behind, she has never backed down. Now, she is running for Congress to bring that same record of delivering for working families to Washington. Elect Democratic Women is proud to support her campaign.”
“I’m honored to have the support of Elect Democratic Women,” said Patty Garcia. “I’ve spent my career standing with the people the system too often leaves behind– families fighting to stay in their homes, workers demanding fair treatment, immigrant families facing detention and deportation, parents just trying to keep their kids safe. I’ve turned that fight into real results for this community, and I’m not stopping now. I’m ready to bring that fight to Congress.”
