Karly Zucker received a startling piece of mail at her DeKalb home on Friday.
As it turns out, the photo was taken almost two years ago in the kitchen of the Voluntary Action Center of DeKalb County. Zucker and her colleagues were preparing food for a summer meals program when Kinzinger visited the nonprofit based in Sycamore, Illinois, to get better acquainted with the services that VAC provides, according to Ellen Rogers, the agency’s executive director.
Kinzinger is the incumbent in a heavily Republican 16th District that includes many of Chicago’s distant west and south exurbs. In the March 20 primary, he faces a challenger from the far right in James Marter of Oswego.
