.RepKinzinger backs Democrats in midterm election endorsement spree
The unabashed critic of former President Donald Trump, who has often bemoaned the current state of the GOP, rolled out multiple bipartisan endorsements Tuesday through his Country First political action committee, backing six Democrats, four Republicans, and two independents.
The sole Republican he backed for secretary of state was Brad Raffensperger in Georgia. The other two Democrats he backed were Josh Shapiro for Pennsylvania governor and Katie Hobbs for Arizona governor. Both of their Republican counterparts have trafficked in claims that the 2020 election was rife with malfeasance — a major sticking point for Kinzinger.
On the Republican side, he is also backing Sen. Lisa Murkowski , Larry Lazor for Connecticut's 1st Congressional District, and Thomas Knecht for state representative in Minnesota, in addition to Raffensperger. The independents he is backing include Evan McMullin for Utah Senate and Clint Smith for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District.
Kinzinger formed the Country First PAC following the Jan. 6 riot. He has also been ostracized by parts of the Republican Party for his vocal criticisms of the party and Trump, whom he voted to impeach. Kinzinger has also taken a pronounced role as one of two Republicans on the Jan. 6 committee. He opted not to vie for reelection after redistricting put him on a likely collision course with Rep. Darin LaHood .
