Representative Robin Kelly is at the forefront of the gun violence prevention movement, serving as a tireless advocate for communities experiencing daily tragedies that rarely make the news. As the co-chair of the Congressional Gun Violence Prevention Taskforce, and the author of the Kelly Report on Gun Violence in America—an in-depth congressional analysis on gun violence in our country—Representative Kelly has been unparalleled in her efforts to bolster public safety and save lives.
 
In Congress, Representative Kelly has staunchly supported efforts to expand background checks, pass meaningful extreme risk legislation, ban assault weapons, prevent stalkers and abusive dating partners from possessing firearms, establish a federal gun trafficking statute, and require gun dealers to properly secure their inventory. She has been a leader in introducing commonsense gun violence prevention legislation, including the Federal Firearm Licensee Act, which would comprehensively update regulations for federal firearms licensees that have been undermined by rogue dealers and advances in technology that have vastly outpaced the federal government’s regulatory response.
 
Residents of Illinois understand the need to end gun violence, and with so much on the line this fall, it is of the utmost importance that they reelect Representative Robin Kelly. We know that leaders like her will continue to pass meaningful legislation to curtail America’s epidemic of gun violence until every child can grow up without the worry of being shot at school, in church, or walking down the street.

We are proud to endorse Robin Kelly for the US House of Representatives.
