Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) won't seek re-election in 2022, but that doesn't mean he's done with politics.
Kinzinger, one of the two GOP members on the Jan. 6 House select committee, announced his decision last month. He told CNN on Thursday that he's thinking about running for statewide office, and will "probably" know by January if he plans on running for governor or senator. Next year, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) and Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) are both up for re-election.
