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.[1]
While Lipinski has maintained a consistent pro-life voting record, he voted for the radical, pro-abortion Equality Act.[2]
Despite having frequently dissented from his party line in key votes, Lipinski supported the impeachment coup against Donald Trump.[3]
2020 U.S. House election in Illinois
Pro-lifers have backed Lipinski amidst his upcoming 2020 re-election fight, including many pro-life Catholics.[4] Disliked among liberals,[5] Lipinski faced a primary challenged by the EMILY's List-backed pro-abortion progressive Marie Newman.[6] Despite left-wing efforts to oust the representative, it is important to note that the Democrat establishment has favored incumbents over primary challengers in the upcoming 2020 U.S. House elections,[7] something that would back Lipinski's re-election efforts. However, despite this, Lipinski ended up losing the Democrat primary to Newman by less than 3%.[8]
