Rep. Manzullo is the incumbent of the 16th District, and has held office since 1993. Rep. Kinzinger, however, is currently representing the 11th District, but has decided to run in the newly redrawn 16th District. The race is particularly interesting because it pits two Republican candidates against each other. Rep. Manzullo is a veteran congressman, while Rep. Kinzinger is a freshman, Tea Party congressman. Whoever wins this primary will be the district's representative, as no one is running in the Democratic party. |
