Guatemalan-American Catalina Lauf, a former top adviser to former President Donald Trump, has announced she will challenge Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) to represent the people in the state’s 16th Congressional District.
According to a press release from the Lauf campaign, Kinzinger is “an anti-Trump RINO who has turned his back on the GOP and its conservative values.”
“As President, Donald Trump lifted millions out of poverty, invested historically in our schools, hospitals, and communities, restored America’s status as the strongest nation on earth, and defended the right to life, our Second Amendment, our borders, and our faith,” Lauf said. “Almost 75 million Americans supported that America First Agenda — but it is clear now that Congressman Kinzinger is not one of them.”
In 2020, Lauf ran for election to the U.S. House to represent Illinois’ 14th Congressional District, however she was defeated in the Republican primary by Jim Oberweis, who ultimately lost to incumbent Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL).
“The curtain has been lifted, and Illinoisans know the truth: Adam Kinzinger is a closet liberal who would be better suited for a job at MSNBC or the Lincoln Project,” Lauf continued. “Without question, he cannot be trusted to stand up for his constituents, for President Trump, or for our shared conservative values.”

Watch the GOPe try now to flood the field...
That’s a handsome woman...is she conservative?
Anyone in Illinois have the scoop on her?
I thought I heard Kunzinger say he wasn’t running again.
Says she was a top advisor to Trump.
Of course that doesn't guarantee conservatism in his circle...
Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Blunt, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio are all Bush League Republicans and should have primary challengers.
If we are serious about taking over the GOP, every one of these must be replaced in 2022.
Looks promising but I’ll wait to see who Trump endorses in each race. You know there will be a ton of grifters who will now claim to be Maga because everybody knows the RINOs are about to get crushed.
*ping*
Taking out Derp State Combiner scum Kinzinger is paramount.
I wish her well and hope for the best but if she couldn't beat a perennial candidate like Oberweis then she's got her work cut out for her with Kinzinger.
Kinzinger is wasted space who talked conservative but always was a closet liberal. Time to dump him.
You throw in a few RINOs but consistently always target some of the most reliable conservative votes in the Senate.
And over the years you have consistently supported Democrat victories in virtually every Senate race in the general election. The far Left would have totally controlled everything years ago had your advice been followed.
He went Washington very quickly.
It’s really a shame. He could have really been good for the party and its future leadership. Alas, he does need to go.
McConnell is responsible for electing more Democrats than I am.
If she can get funding she should be able to defeat Kinzinger - he has really beclowned himself.
This would also be a district where a Republican should be able to win a general election easily...the primary is where it will be at.
One would think.

It's still Illinois. Nothing is a given.
Great news, I will support her for sure. 8>)
Can Democrats vote in the primary?
Hawt ...
I’ve seen her speak.
Smart, confident, forceful gal. Great choice.
And she is a real Cutie to boot!
It's amazing how much hotter someone is when you take the hate away...
Given his military service and the multiple oaths he swore, he truly is a traitor. Even his family knows it and disowned him.
