16th District Representative Adam Kinzinger Optimistic About White House 'Shake-Up'

http://kinzinger.house.gov/

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger is optimistic about a change of energy in the White House under new Chief of Staff John Kelly. The Republican from the 16th Illinois District said Kelly can help the President reduce distractions.

“I think that he can control access in a way to keep the President focused and help him hopefully reduce some of the tweets that go out and use Twitter the right way, but not for an emotional way, and bring a real discipline to the West Wing that’s been missing," he said. "I think this could really be a turning point in this administration.” 

Kelly was sworn in Monday as Trump's second chief of staff.

Kinzinger was in DeKalb Tuesday to meet with officials from Northern Illinois University and the local Chamber of Commerce.
