U.S. Representative Jesús “Chuy” Garcia won his first contested Democratic primary since 2018, defeating Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez of the 15th ward. Allegations surfaced on Election Day from Garcia's campaign, accusing Lopez of giving away doughnuts and envelopes of cash to election judges in his ward. The race for the 4th district was called in favor of Garcia well before he arrived at his victory party in Brighton Park, with the Associated Press announcing the result earlier than expected.

The 4th district race was called well before Rep. “Chuy” Garcia was slated to even arrive at his victory party. The call from AP came so quickly that the projector at his Brighton Park election party had yet to be set up. A staffer tells me, “he should be on his way.” @Suntimes
