Incumbent Jesus Garcia (D) defeated Raymond Lopez (D) in the Democratic primary for Illinois' 4th Congressional District on March 19, 2024. Garcia received 68.9% of the vote to Lopez's 31.1%.

Local media outlets said Garcia and Lopez represented different wings of the Democratic Party. According to Politico's Illinois Playbook, "Lopez is a conservative Democrat who aligns with the equally conservative Chicago Police union, and Garcia is a venerable progressive."[1] According to the Chicago Sun-Times, "Both Garcia and Lopez have long roots in opposing factions of Southwest Side politics. Lopez is a product of the old Chicago machine while Garcia comes out of Chicago’s anti-machine independent politics movement."[2]

Garcia and Lopez differed on immigration and the war in Gaza. Both said they supported offering citizenship to immigrants brought into the country without legal permission as children. Garcia and Lopez differed on a bill the U.S. Senate passed in February 2024 that included restrictions on immigration without legal permission as well as aid to Ukraine and Israel. Garcia said he would not vote for the bill in the House and Lopez said he would.[2][3] Garcia co-sponsored a U.S. House resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza in October 2023. Lopez voted against a city council resolution calling for a ceasefire in January 2024.[3][2]

Garcia was first elected in 2018 and earlier served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners, the Illinois Senate, and the Chicago City Council. Garcia ran on his record, saying he secured billions of dollars in infrastructure funding for Illinois in Congress and passed the nation's first resolution limiting cooperation with federal authorities on immigration enforcement while he was a city council member.[4]

Lopez was, at the time of the election, a member of the Chicago City Council. Lopez said he was running because Garcia was out of touch with the district's voters.[1] Lopez described himself as "a man whose faith and conviction always lead him to do what's right over what's popular."[5]

As of March 5, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales, and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Solid/Safe Democratic. Garcia won re-election 68%–28% in 2022.

Race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[6]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[7][8][9]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Illinois in 2024. Information below was calculated on 2/16/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time. </noinclude>

Forty-nine candidates filed to run for Illinois' 17 U.S. House districts, including 24 Democrats and 25 Republicans. That's 2.59 candidates per district. In 2022, the first election after the number of Congressional districts in Illinois decreased from 18 to 17, 5.59 candidates filed per district.

In 2020, when the state still had 18 Congressional districts, 4.1 candidates ran. In 2018, 4.4 candidates did.

The number of total candidates who ran for the U.S. House in 2024 was the fewest since at least 2014.

All incumbents ran for re-election this year, meaning no seats were open for the first time since 2014. In 2022, four seats were open, and one seat was open in 2020, 2028, and 2016.

Six candidates—five Democrats and one Republican—ran in the 7th district, including incumbent Danny K. Davis (D). That was the most candidates who ran for a single district in 2024.

Eleven primaries were contested in 2024—five Democratic and six Republican. That was the fewest contested primaries since 2014, when nine were.

Five incumbents faced primary challengers—four Democrats and one Republican. That was also the fewest since 2014, when three incumbents faced primary challengers.

The 4th District was guaranteed to Democrats because no Republican candidates filed. The 15th and Illinois' 16th Congressional District were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed.
