Evergreen Park Library Presents 'An Evening With Adam Kinzinger'

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — The Evergreen Park Public Library is collaborting with multiple Illinois libraries in hosting a special virtual presentation with former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who will be interviewed by Steve Edwards, an award-winning journalist and interviewer Steve Edwards.

Kinzinger discusses his bestselling memoir “Renegade,” which captures one of the most transformative periods in recent history and recounts his time in public service. The presentation starts at 7 p.m. CT Thursday, Feb. 29. Registration is required to participate in the Zoom presentation, that can be accessed from home.

From 2011-2022, Congressman Kinzinger served six terms in the United States House of Representatives, representing Illinois’ 16th Congressional District.

Following the events of January 6, 2021, Kinzinger demonstrated an exceedingly rare loyalty to country over party. As one of only two Republicans on the January 6 Committee, Rep. Kinzinger stood against his own party in pursuit of democracy and justice.

While in Congress, Kinzinger served as a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he served as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy and the Environment in the 116th Congress. He also served on the non-partisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Prior to being elected to Congress, Kinzinger served in the U.S. Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Edwards helped launch and lead the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics, a non-partisan program devoted to cultivating the next generation of public service leaders.
