PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:

“I share Robin’s passionate advocacy to end gun violence with common-sense solutions because like her, I believe families impacted by gun violence — especially in my home city of Chicago — deserve a vote,” Obama said in a statement reported by the NBC affiliate in Chicago. “I urge you to elect Robin Kelly as your representative in the United States Congress.”

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE JAN SCHAKOWSKY:

“I’m endorsing Robin because Congress needs someone who is going to fight for strong gun violence prevention laws, and Robin Kelly is that candidate. Robin has the experience to hit the ground running and the passion to make a difference,”

U.S. CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS:

“Robin Kelly has the kind of pragmatism that you need to get results in Washington, while never compromising her beliefs like many do. If we are going to stop the NRA in their tracks, and make our communities safe again, Robin Kelly is the right woman for the job.”

U.S. CONGRESSMAN BOBBY RUSH:

“Our communities are facing an epidemic of gun violence, and we need more members of Congress who can be trusted to fight for common sense gun control measures.

Career

Before her election to Congress, Kelly was chief administrative officer of Cook County, where she was responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and implementing policy for the second largest county in the United States. Earlier, she served as chief of staff of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office, becoming the first African-American woman to hold that position in a constitutional office in Illinois.

During her term as chief of staff, Kelly pursued a progressive agenda rooted in promoting small business job creation, investment strategy innovation, and advancing financial literacy in underserved areas.

Kelly also worked in former Fourth Ward Alderman Toni Preckwinkle’s office.

Activism

Kelly was the director of the Crisis Nursery at Crittenton Care and Counseling Center from 1984–1987, associate director of The Youth Shelter from 1987–1990, and minority student services director at Bradley University from 1990–1992. From 1992–2006 she served as a director of community affairs in Matteson. She is co-founder and past president of the Unity Coalition of the South Suburbs. She has served as a commissioner on human rights in Cook County since 1998, and has been a board member of the Hate Crimes Commission since 2005, the Rich Township Food Pantry since 1994 and the Illinois Theatre Center since 1993. Kelly has been a Bradley University Trustee since 2003 and a board member of the Bradley University Council since 1998.

Honoring Randolph

Rather than spend money traveling to Washington, D.C. on Aug. 28, 2013, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington, which was led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., community activist Lyn Hughes suggested people honor the date closer to home.

The A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, founded by Hughes in 1995, held a free event Saturday, Aug. 24 at the museum, 10604 S. Maryland Ave., from 1 to 5 p.m.

The March on Washington was inspired by A. Philip Randolph, a socialist labor organizer who founded the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1925. The Brotherhood became the first black labor union in the country following its 1937 inclusion by the American Federation of Labor.

While the 1963 March on Washington is hailed as a pivotal point in civil rights history, most people don't know that Randolph founded the March on Washington Movement in 1941 with civil rights activist and Socialist Party USA comrade Bayard Rustin.

The celebration continued with a Sunday gala at the museum, which featured speakers including U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Chicago) and state Rep. Elgie Sims (D-Chicago).

Harold Washington supporter

In September 2014, when Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner invoked words of former mayor Harold Washington, to attack incumbent Governor Pat Quinn, a coalition of leaders who worked with, supported and espoused Harold Washington ideals and policies issued the below statement.

Leaders who issued the statement are U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-1st), U.S. Representative Robin Kelly (D-2nd), U.S. Representative Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-4th), U.S. Representative Danny Davis (D-7th), Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Cook County Commissioner Chuy Garcia, Timuel Black, the Rev. Clay Evans, Jacky Grimshaw and the Rev. Dr. B. Herbert Martin:

“Harold Washington would be rolling over in his grave to see this desperate commercial run by a billionaire who didn’t hire a single African American executive at his own business and who wants to eliminate the minimum wage.

“Those who remember and loved Harold Washington know that he spent his entire career fighting against the Republican, anti-worker, benefit-the-rich policies that Bruce Rauner wholly represents.

“This is another desperate effort by a billionaire trying to change the subject from an ongoing federal trial targeting his company after misdeeds that led to the abuse, neglect and death of many senior citizens under his watch. Bruce Rauner can’t avoid responsibility for his business.”

No "fast Track"

On May 7, Chicago DSAer Tom Broderick took part in two press conferences and rallies focusing on Fast Track and the secretive trade agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The latter is also called the Trans Atlantic Free Trade Agreement.

The first press conference was called by Representative Daniel Lipinski (D-3) and District 7 Steelworkers. Rep. Lipinski has taken a strong stand against Fast Track and the secretive trade deals. Joining him were Representative Robin Kelly (D-2) and an aide from the office of Representative Danny Davis (D-7).

Citing the broken promises of past trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Rep. Lipinski spoke of the nearly 300,000 manufacturing jobs lost in Illinois alone. He also said that the estimated 70,000 new jobs and soaring exports that KORUS (the U.S. ~ Korean Free Trade agreement) was supposed to provide has turned into a loss of 60,000 jobs and an increase in the trade deficit.

He also said that it was the responsibility of the U.S. Congress to ensure that trade agreements create good paying American jobs and safeguard the consumer and environmental protections.

Rep. Kelly said that although she wanted to work with the President, it was necessary to engage in a deeper, broader and more inclusive dialogue regarding international trade. She said there could be no fast track to a more prosperous future and that currency manipulation damaged U.S. manufacturing competitiveness. Fast Track was not appropriate for our international trade agreements.

Also speaking at the event were Tiffany Ingram, Midwest Advocacy Director for Natural Resources Defense Council, Bill Hickey, Chief Executive Officer of Lapham-Hickey Steel of Chicago, Robert Reiter, Jr., Secretary Treasurer of the Chicago Federation of Labor and Carson Starkey, Director of Illinois Fair Trade Campaign.
