Within weeks of voting for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment, US Representative Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., Is already facing a major pro-Trump GOP challenger.
Your opponent? Catalina Lauf, a 27-year-old who previously served in the Trump administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce. She launched her proposal on Tuesday to dismiss the 42-year-old incumbent in Illinois’ 16th Congressional District.
“I never thought it would be a Republican colleague’s priority, but is Congressman Kinzinger really more of a Republican? He’s not and we have proof,” Lauf said in a video campaign ad.

Lauf attacks Kinzinger as a “weak kneeling Republican” who “cares more about his next appearance on MSNBC than the voters who elected him”.
She suggests that the incumbent deputy does not support the “America First” movement, pointing to his “one out of three votes” in Congress that allied with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“Instead of being in our fight, Adam betrayed his constituents for a life in the DC swamp,” said Lauf.
She then criticizes the “Fake Republican” for supporting the “false impeachment scam of a president who has already stepped down.”
“He said that impeachment was ‘necessary to save America’. What? “Lauf reacts.” Do you know what I think is needed to save America, Adam? Set mandate limits for people like you and the rest of your friends. Six terms in Congress are enough. “
Lauf continues to accuse Kinzinger of “more fan[ning] flames “by” div[ing] our party.”
Among the candidate’s priorities that she sets to face on Capitol Hill are “social media censorship”, “electoral integrity”, “freedom of speech”, “arms rights”, “illegal immigration” and “keeping the economy going.”
Lauf previously ran for Congress in the Illinois 14th Congressional District in 2020, but was defeated in a Republican primary seat by Senator Jim Oberweis, who fell short in the general election against Democratic Representative Lauren Underwood by less than 2 percent.

Lauf is proud to be the daughter of a Guatemalan immigrant mother, who came to the US legally, and the father of a small business owner. She also called herself “anti-COC”.
She and her sister Madeline were featured in a video during last year’s Republican National Convention in support of President Trump.
