Latest TV Ad Shows Manzullo Most Serious About Cutting Spending, Paying Down Debt
(ROCKFORD) Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) unveiled his latest TV ad today that shows he’s the only candidate in the race for Illinois’ 16th Congressional District seat who is serious about cutting wasteful Washington spending, balancing the budget, and paying down the growing national debt.
Manzullo’s ad, entitled “Don’t Read His Lips,” shows a sharp contrast between Manzullo and his opponent, Congressman Adam Kinzinger, on spending and debt issues. It highlights the fact that Manzullo last year voted 79 more times to cut $209 billion more in spending than Kinzinger. In fact, Heritage Action for America said Kinzinger was among the six freshmen “most reluctant to cut spending.”

Manzullo gets nod from two more IL conservative groups
[ROCKFORD] – Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) continued his dominance in securing endorsements from statewide conservative organizations leading up to the March 20 primary election when two more groups announced their support for Manzullo instead of his opponent, Congressman Adam Kinzinger.
Eagle Forum of Illinois and the Illinois Federation for Right to Life PAC are the latest conservative groups to endorse Manzullo for re-election to the 16th Congressional District seat he now holds.
Congressman Manzullo has received a 100% rating from National Right to Life, a 100% rating from the American Family Association, a 98.1% rating from Family Research Council, and a 96% rating from the American Conservative Union, the groups stated in making their endorsements.
“One of the qualities we look for in our lawmakers is reliability,” said former Illinois State Rep. Penny Pullen, state president for Eagle Forum of Illinois. “That’s what the voters of the 16th District have always given us in Don Manzullo. Congressman Manzullo is a reliable conservative, always, always doing the right thing for his district, for our state and for America.”
Manzullo has also received endorsements from the Illinois Tea Party, Illinois Citizens for Life federal PAC, Illinois Conservatives (4,000 conservatives under 35 years old), and Illinois Family-Pac Federal.
