Donald Manzullo touts himself as the true conservative in the race for Congress in the 16th District. He is running against Adam Kinzinger, a Tea Party freshman in Congress, endorsed last election cycle by former vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
This race presents an interesting dynamic because both Manzullo and Kinzinger are incumbents. With no Democrats seeking election, whoever wins the primary will be the 16th District’s next congressman. So what do the constituents of the 16th District want: a veteran conservative who has served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, or a fresh-faced Tea Party congressman?
