This coming year, the 22nd Ward IPO celebrates 44 years of existence, and one common thread has run through all those decades — the steadfast leadership of Chuy García.

For four decades, Chuy has led with dignity, grace, and compassion. He has fought tirelessly to build unity and power for working-class people, always putting community first. It is with deep gratitude and a heavy heart that we thank Chuy for his unwavering dedication and service. His shoes will be hard to fill, but thankfully, that mantle of leadership will now be carried forward by Dr. Patty García.

At tonight’s historic meeting, the 22nd Ward IPO unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed Dr. Patty García as our new leader. As founding member Lupe Lozano shared so eloquently, “Chuy has accomplished nothing over the last several years that didn’t have Patty’s work behind it.”

From her early years growing up in Little Village, to her work empowering communities across the country, and now as a proud suburban Latina, Patty is ready to lead with the same spirit of unity, justice, and compassion that has defined our movement for generations.
