Congressman Adam Kinzinger served six terms in the United States House of Representatives where he proudly represented Illinois’ Sixteenth Congressional District, which stretched across 14 counties in Northern Illinois. While in Congress, Kinzinger served as a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he served as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy and the Environment in the 116th Congress. His top priorities included strengthening U.S. energy policy and making our nation less reliant on foreign resources as well as bolstering the strength of our national security — both at home and abroad. He also served on the non-partisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Shortly after the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol in 2021, Congressman Kinzinger started the Country First movement which has grown rapidly to over 300,000 members today and counting. Since leaving Congress, Congressman Kinzinger has become a Senior Political Commentator, a New York Times Best Selling Author of “Renegade,” while simultaneously leading the Country First Movement. Prior to being elected to Congress, Kinzinger served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Kinzinger continued to serve his country throughout his time in Congress as a pilot in the Air National Guard, and retired in 2023 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
