Troy Township Candidates
11th District US Congress : Adam Kinzinger
Adam Kinzinger, 31, is a
focused, results oriented leader dedicated to getting
our government back to the roots, which made it strong
in the first place.
Adam was born in Kankakee but spent most of his
childhood years in Bloomington, IL where he currently
lives. His mother, an elementary schoolteacher, and his
father, a former CEO of two faith-based organizations,
taught Adam important values of hard work and
responsiveness to the needs of less fortunate
individuals in our communities. Adam earned his
bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University in
2000.
While a sophmore at ISU, Adam, at the age of 20,
challenged a twelve-year Democrat incumbent for the
McLean County Board. By focusing on a message of
bringing local government back to the people, he won a
seat on the board to become one of the youngest county
board members in McLean County history.
During his service on the board, Adam focused on ideas
he believed in – opposing elected officials’ pay raises
in tough economic times, standing out against internet
taxation to local businesses, and supporting measures
allowing for greater public participation in county
government. Adam quickly earned the respect of his
colleagues, was easily accessible to his constituents
and was often the lead Republican spokesman on important
issues facing the county board.
Adam sought a second term in 2002 and earned the
endorsement of the Bloomington Pantagraph for his
efforts in bringing a fresh perspective to county
government. His message resonated with the voters and he
was overwhelmingly reelected.
