The new 16th Congressional District includes parts of Rockford, Dekalb, LaSalle and areas south of Chicago. It's been represented since 1993 by Rockford-area Republican Don Manzullo. His opponent is fellow Republican representative Adam Kinzinger. In a recent interview with WNIJ, Kinzinger touted his accomplishments during his short time in Washington. "I've been in Congress for 13 months. We've changed the conversation since we've been there, myself and the freshman class, from how much more we're going to spend, how much we're going to cut and how we're going to pay for things."
