Rep. Adam Kinzinger says he’s eyeing potential GOP run for Illinois governor or U.S. senator after opting out of reelection to Congress

“It’s not my intention to run for anything statewide. I think there’s probably less of that chatter. At the beginning, I heard people speculate that I was taking the positions I was taking to set myself up to run statewide. And I’ll tell you, people who speculate that don’t know me. And, I would even argue that they probably don’t know something about politics if you think I can get through a primary pretty easily,” Kinzinger said at the time.
