'''Daniel William "Dan" Lipinski''' (born July 15, 1966) is the [[pro-life]] Democrat representing [[Illinois]]' 3rd congressional district. A member of the [[Blue Dog Coalition]], Lipinski and Rep. [[Collin Peterson]] are considered to be the most [[conservative Democrat]]s in the [[United States House of Representatives]].

==U.S. House of Representatives==
Lipinski won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2004 when he defeated [[Republican]] candidate Ryan Chlada by over 40% of the vote.<ref>[https://ballotpedia.org/Illinois%27_3rd_Congressional_District Illinois' 3rd Congressional District]</ref>

While Lipinski has maintained a consistent [[pro-life]] voting record, he voted for the radical, [[pro-abortion]] [[Equality Act]].<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/last-pro-life-house-democrat-votes-for-extreme-pro-abortion-equality-act Last ‘pro-life’ House Democrat votes for extreme pro-abortion Equality Act]</ref>

Despite having frequently dissented from his party line in key votes, Lipinski supported the [[impeachment coup]] against [[Donald Trump]].<ref>[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/how-illinois-representatives-voted-on-impeachment-inquiry/ar-AAJEGER How Illinois Representatives Voted On Impeachment Inquiry]</ref>

===2020 U.S. House election in Illinois===
[[Pro-life]]rs have backed Lipinski amidst his upcoming 2020 re-election fight, including many pro-life [[Catholics]].<ref>Two references:
