Adam Kinzinger (IL-16 - R)

Compare

[Retiring at end of current term.] An Air Force veteran and pilot who served in Iraq, Adam Kinzinger says he’s not one to retreat from any fight. In Congress, he gained a reputation as someone who will speak his mind regardless of the political consequences. Not only was Kinzinger among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, he was the lone Republican who voted to urge outgoing Vice President Mike Pence to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and become acting president.
