For 12 long, agonizing years I suffered the indignity of having this punk as a representative. The democrats gerrymandered two republican-held districts together to get rid of one. It happened to be my congressman, Don Manzullo, who was a real conservative. I’m convinced the dems helped this Tea Party phony get in and he immediately started stabbing republicans in the back. True to form, democrats rewarded his treachery by changing the map again in 2022 in a way that made his re-election almost impossible. So like most democrats, he retired.
I lived in Davis Junction (Ogle County) at the time, and Manzullo was my rep. Good man. Not a movement conservative, but no fake show either. A solid vote. That election was a tragedy.
