🇺🇲 John Kitover Candidate Congressman IL 16

Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL) voted "Yea" on H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which passed the House 341-88. The 24 Republicans listed by Sen. Paul voted "Nay" against the bill, which includes funding for various programs, including refugee assistance. LaHood is not on that list because he supported passage.

Yesterday in @JudiciaryGOP, @AGPamBondi hurled personal insults instead of answering my legitimate questions about major gaps and serious flaws in the Epstein Files Transparency Act document production.

This is the ultimate rejection of Gov. Pritzker. At least 33 counties have voted to separate from Illinois. And many other counties have created separation committees. Now Indiana wants some of those counties. And so does Iowa. That's just how much Pritzker has divided this state. Not to mention, Illinois' population has shrunk by 100,000 since he took office – as people flee to other states. I will bring us back together. Reject Pritzker by voting for me, Ted Dabrowski, in the March 17 primary. Flip Illinois Red! Vote for Ted. #twill @ILGOP @GovPritzker

Brandon Johnson could write a book on how to publicly humiliate himself. In ten days @ChicagosMayor insisted his "ICE on Notice" would result in criminal referrals. Now, his reversal is complete. Johnson is such a fraud.

🚨 MUST SEE: Pam Bondi goes into full meltdown crash out mode multiple times today... @RepThomasMassie asked her for the lawful information on why the DOJ chose not to pursue the Child Sex Trafficking Co-conspirator Les Wexner. She also went on to say "The Dow is over 50,000" when asked why none of Epstein’s clients have been arrested. DO YOU THINK PAM BONDI WAS A GOOD PICK FOR AG?

🚨Updated CDC data shows 9.2% of children have received a COVID shot this season… almost 7 million children. @SecKennedy @DrMakaryFDA this needs to end. If protecting children is a top priority, we must stop injecting them with mRNA.

#IL16 was well represented at this year’s @CCTrustees National Legislative Summit in DC! Enjoyed meeting with leadership from @Heartland_CC, @HighlandCollege, @IllinoisCentral, @JolietJrCollege, @parklandcollege, and @rvcgoldeneagles to discuss policies that strengthen our community colleges, expand educational opportunities, and support student success.
