Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger to lead group of Republicans for Colin Allred, https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/02/adam-kinzinger-republicans-colin-allred-texas/
[quote]Republicans for Allred will be co-chaired by Kinzinger, a former Illinois congressman who later moved to Texas and who has excoriated Trump’s transformation of the GOP, an Allred campaign spokesperson confirmed.
The group will be co-chaired by former state Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas, according to a Thursday news release. Other members include former Dallas Mayor and U.S. Rep. Steve Bartlett, former state representative and Texas House Elections committee chairman Todd Smith, former U.S. Rep. Alan Steelman, former state Rep. Bennett Ratliff, and Marc Sumerlin, former deputy director of the National Economic Council under President George W. Bush.
“This is a serious effort to reach out to Republicans,” Kinzinger said. “You’re going to see other folks come out and say, ‘look, we’re going to put slight differences aside because we actually believe in this country and what it stands for like Colin does and unlike Ted Cruz does.’”[unquote]
Kinzinger has really walked the walk. I think he should be offered a substantive position in the Harris Administration if he wants one, in an area he won't be problematic in, such as an ambassadorship, Under Secretary of State or Defense for something or Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Or Secretary of the Air Force
Yes, anything like that.
