Catalina Lauf, onetime adviser to former President Donald Trump, recently announced her intention to challenge Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) for the 16th Congressional seat.
Lauf has accused Kinzinger of being an "anti-Trump RINO." RINO, or Republican in Name Only, is the label Republicans give to other Republicans they don't think are conservative enough.
“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. Almost 75 million Americans supported that America First age. — but it is clear now that Congressman Kinzinger is not one of them,” Lauf said on Twitter.
A spokesperson from Kinzinger’s office told The Epoch Times that the representative “has a proven record of leadership and integrity, serving the interests of his constituents and his country—not the sole interests of one man.”
Kinzinger was among the ten Republicans in the House who voted in favor of a second Trump impeachment trial. This would be Lauf's second attempt at running for public office after losing in the Republican primary against Jim Oberweis for the 14th Congressional District of Illinois in 2020.
