Adam Niemerg, a Republican member of the Illinois State House representing the 102nd District since 2023, has recently posted several statements on his X (formerly Twitter) account regarding state and national political issues.

On September 18, 2025, Niemerg announced legislative action to commemorate Charlie Kirk, stating: "Charlie Kirk was a true American patriot, a son of Illinois, who gave everything for the cause of freedom. His voice stirred millions, and his legacy must live on. That’s why I have filed legislation to honor him with a commemorative holiday on his birthday. Illinois will forever https://t.co/wvGA4cFltC".

Two days later, on September 20, Niemerg expressed disappointment in an unspecified event or development by posting: "Terrible and very disappointing. https://t.co/rKg8V99Sye".

Later that same day, he commented on remarks made by a Democratic figure, writing: "This is what the Democrats really think. He just said the quiet part out loud. https://t.co/LolgDBTFeI".

Niemerg succeeded Darren Bailey as representative for Illinois's 102nd House District following his election in 2023.
