Kinzinger is my rep. He lives about 12 miles from our house.
This redistricting will place his town in a district that is medium blue.
We had a dem rep (Deb Halvorson) before a redistricting reddened this district, getting Kinzinger elected. Before that we had an R, but he was a Rockefeller Republican, & prior to that we had a D, for a long while.
As this county has grown, there are blue areas with much higher population than in the past and the new map includes those communities.
I don't think he could win here, even though he's not a frothing radical right type.
He'd have to move west or south, but too far south & he runs afoul of the cultists in central Illinois that already hate him for his anti-T***p stance.
It's a shame some other rep couldn't be excised, but the population shifts happened up here in the northeast.
Besides, economically, he is nobody we should consider an ally. Despite all the contrary evidence, he's still a believer in supply side.
