U.S. Representative Jesús G. "Chuy" García proudly represents the Fourth Congressional District of Illinois. He was sworn into office on January 3, 2019, during the 116th Congress.
Throughout his career, Congressman García has been a progressive voice fighting to improve the lives of his working-class neighbors, many of whom are immigrants like him. He is a coalition builder committed to empowering youth and expanding access to quality education, affordable housing, and economic opportunity.
Science and technology play vital roles in understanding and addressing the challenges we face as a nation. We have the potential to become global leaders in environmental stewardship and infrastructure innovation.
I support scientific research and believe our policy decisions should be evidence-based and data-driven. I also believe the federal government should encourage STEM education in schools to prepare a young, diverse workforce to tackle tomorrow's challenges.
Technology also coincides with my work on Financial Services. As monetary policy and banking evolve, I want to ensure innovation is equitable while also protecting consumers from tech giants' possible overreach.
