, announced she will challenge Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) for his 16th Congressional District seat.
Lauf’s newly formed campaign accused Kinzinger of being an "anti-Trump RINO" who has turned his back on his constituents.
A spokesperson for Kinzinger’s office stated that due to redistricting, it’s not clear how the race will look.
Kinzinger was among 10 Republicans in the House to vote to impeach Trump, and in recent months, has been a frequent critic of Trump and pro-Trump Republican elected officials on social media and in press appearances.
Lauf ran for Illinois’ 14th Congressional District seat in 2020 but lost the GOP primary to Jim Oberweis, who ultimately lost to Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill.).
"I am proud to announce my candidacy for United States Congress," she said in the release, according to Breitbart News. "Now more than ever, America needs true conservative leaders to oppose the radical agenda of Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

and continue the legacy of President Trump—and as a former advisor to his Administration, I look forward to carrying that torch."
Trump, in a statement last week, said he would primary certain GOP politicians with candidates who support his agenda.
"Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership," he said.
