Manzullo voted 79 more times to cut $209 billion more than Adam Kinzinger who whill be Manzullo's opponent in the upcoming March election due to redistricting.
An analysis of Congressional votes shows that U.S. Rep. Don Manzullo (R-16) continued his strong conservative record of voting against wasteful Washington spending in 2011 while his opponent voted much more often for big government.
Manzullo, who maintains a lifetime 96 percent rating with the American Conservative Union, voted 79 more times to cut spending in 2011 than Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-11), who says he came to Washington in 2010 to cut spending. An analysis of all 949 roll call votes cast in 2011 shows Kinzinger voted to spend $209 billion more than Manzullo. Click here to view the full analysis.
In addition, Manzullo voted in 2011 for an alternative budget bill that would have cut $9.1 trillion over 10 years, reformed and saved Social Security and Medicare, kept taxes low, funded defense sufficiently, and eliminated the budget deficit in 9 years. Kinzinger voted against the conservative Republican Study Committee’s budget alternative, supported by the 60 Plus Association, Citizens Against Government Waste, Heritage Action, National Taxpayers Union, Americans for Prosperity, and many other conservative organizations. Instead, Kinzinger voted for Rep. Paul Ryan’s Path to Prosperity that cut $5.8 trillion over 10 years. Manzullo also supported Ryan’s plan.
“An analysis of last year’s Congressional votes clearly shows that Congressman Manzullo is much more serious than his opponent when it comes to cutting wasteful spending, reducing America’s debt and strengthening our economy,” said Manzullo spokesman Rich Carter. “In 2011, Congressman Manzullo voted 79 more times to cut $209 billion more in spending than Congressman Kinzinger. When presented with a clear choice, Kinzinger voted to fully fund dozens of government agencies and programs. In addition, Manzullo supported a budget alternative that would have cut $3.3 trillion more over 10 years than the legislation his opponent supported. It’s easy to see why Manzullo is getting so much support from those who want to see Congress get serious about cutting wasteful spending.”
Manzullo was recently endorsed by the Illinois Conservatives, a statewide organization of about 4,000 young conservatives under 35. He was endorsed last month by Family PAC-Federal, Illinois’ leading pro-family political action committee, and he is consistently recognized for his efforts to cut wasteful spending by many national conservative organizations.
Heritage Action, the sister organization of the conservative Heritage Foundation, shows a wide disparity in conservative rating in its Legislative Scorecard, with Manzullo receiving an 83 percent rating and Kinzinger receiving a 60 percent rating.
Manzullo, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific and the co-Chair of the House Manufacturing Caucus, is running for re-election to continue his mission to cut wasteful Washington spending, reduce the deficit, strengthen our economy, and help put Americans back to work. Under the Democrats' redistricting gerrymander last year, the 16th District changes dramatically. It will now include the counties of Boone, Ogle, Lee, Bureau, Putnam, La Salle, Grundy, Livingston, Iroquois, and parts of Winnebago, DeKalb, Stark, Will and Ford counties.
