LUXEMBURG, WI — This past weekend, on Saturday, August 1st, Mark Becker hosted former Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for a rally in support of his candidacy for Wisconsin’s 1st Senate District. 

During their conversation, Kinzinger and Becker discussed the need to elect more independent-minded candidates to office, the importance of strong leadership and integrity in the face of political pressure, and how to combat the negative effects of political polarization.

The former Congressman also extended his official endorsement of Becker’s candidacy.

Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Mark Becker’s campaign for Wisconsin State Senate, District 1:

“In the race for Wisconsin’s 1st State Senate District, I am proud to endorse Mark Becker. Mark is someone whose commitment to the truth over partisan loyalty has taken him on a journey much similar to mine. I know what it’s like to have your party leave you; to witness its principles and ideals stray so far from the very things that you once fought for.

In the years that I have known Mark, I have always admired his desire to return to a civil brand of politics, while being unafraid to speak out against the harms of extremism to his community. Now is the time for leaders like Mark who can resist the pull of polarization and, instead, bring people together. Mark is a devoted husband, father, and leader, and he is the independent voice that the hardworking people of Wisconsin’s 1st Senate District deserve to represent them.”
