Description

Adam Kinzinger
Former Congressman and CNN Political Commentator

Tuesday, October 24, 2023 at 12:00 pm

The Forum Club of the Palm Beaches will present former Congressman and CNN political commentator Adam Kinzinger on Tuesday, October 24, at Noon, at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

For former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, service to country has been the guiding principle of his life and career — first as a member of the armed forces, and later as a lawmaker in the halls of Congress. 

From 2011-2022, Kinzinger served six terms in the United States House of Representatives, where he proudly represented Illinois’ Sixteenth Congressional District, which stretches across 14 counties in Northern Illinois.

While in Congress, Kinzinger served as a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he served as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy and the Environment in the 116th Congress. 

His top priorities included strengthening U.S. energy policy and making our nation less reliant on foreign resources as well as bolstering the strength of our national security – both at home and abroad.

When the strength of the nation was tested on January 6, 2021 and in the months following, Kinzinger was one of only two Republicans asked to serve on the January 6th Committee. Shortly after the insurrection at the Capitol, Kinzinger started the Country First movement, which has grown rapidly to more than 100,000 members. 

Prior to being elected to Congress, Kinzinger served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Kinzinger continues to serve his country as a pilot in the Air National Guard, with the current rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and balanced this service with his duties in Congress.

Copies of Congressman Kinzinger's book, Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in our Divided Country, will be available for purchase at the event through a special partnership with Pyramid Books.

Tickets for this event will go on sale on September 24th.
