Setting a measure aside permanently. A successful motion to table ends the matter, so a vote for tabling is a vote against whatever was tabled.

What was being voted on

119-HRES-878 — Disapproving the behavior of Representative Jesús G. Chuy García of Illinois.

This resolution addresses the actions of Representative Chuy Garcia of Illinois regarding his nomination filings. On October 27, 2025, Representative Garcia filed nominating petitions to be on the Democratic primary ballot for March 2026. On November 5, 2025, his Chief of Staff, Patty Garcia, submitted paperwork to enter the same Democratic primary. After the filing deadline on November 6, Representative Garcia confirmed he would not seek another term and would withdraw his petitions. The resolution states that the Chief of Staff was the only Democrat who filed at his direction.
