With over 200 endorsements and counting, I am proud of the broad and diverse coalition uniting behind me and my U.S. Senate campaign of People Over Profits.

While my opponents, and the millionaires and billionaires who fund them, flood the airwaves fighting each other, I’m focused on you, your pocketbook and putting People Over Profits. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Despite Trump's claims about our economy, this morning’s jobs report shows our country has lost jobs since last May and even health care hiring is slowing.

Proud to have the endorsement of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. When women of color stand together in the fight for equity, representation and working families, our democracy is stronger. Together we’ll keep building a future rooted in justice and solidarity.

Kristi Noem led a reign of terror at DHS. Families were torn apart and people died under her leadership. Her firing was overdue, but justice requires more than removal, it requires accountability.

Good riddance. Kristi Noem was a corrupt and incompetent disgrace.
Markwayne Mullin won't be any better.
We can't stop now. I was proud to lead the impeachment against Kristi Noem. As a Senator, I will not vote to confirm another unqualified cabinet secretary.

Their commitment to public service and to the people of the region is unmatched, and I’m proud to stand alongside them.

I’m grateful to have the support of this dedicated group of leaders in Winnebago County, current and former elected officials and community advocates who have spent years investing in the Rockford community.

We live in an unprecedented time. Donald Trump is trying to destroy our civil liberties at every turn. I stand with the ACLU and I stand with the people of Illinois to protect our constitutional rights.

Over the weekend, I was proud to earn the endorsement of State Rep. Anne Stava of Illinois’ 81st House District. As U.S. Senator, I look forward to partnering with legislators across our state to put People Over Profits and deliver real results for Illinois families.

Shirley Chisholm is my shero. Her call to be unbought and unbossed guides me as I take on money and power in my race for the U.S. Senate. Happy Women’s History Month, a reminder to stand for independence, accountability, and the people.

This war, launched without congressional approval, has put our troops in unnecessary danger and these losses are a painful reminder of that.

Three American service members are dead and others are seriously wounded amid escalating hostilities with Iran. My thoughts are with their families and fellow service members.

to oppose these measures, put the American people first and keep our democracy from crumbling.

Another Trump war the American people do not want. Another invasion without congressional approval that puts our troops in unnecessary danger. This continued aggression in a fragile region underscores the need for a proven leader who can hit the ground running on Day One in the U.S. Senate

I’m honored to be recognized by Moms Demand Action as a Gun Sense Candidate. Keeping our families, schools & communities safe is a shared responsibility. I’ve prioritized ending gun violence since entering Congress in 2013 & I will continue that work as Illinois’ next U.S. Senator. #endgunviolence

Growing up working in my family’s grocery store taught me how small businesses anchor our communities. Yesterday I visited Stussey’s Diner in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood, met owner Dahlia and heard from patrons. As your next U.S. Senator, I’ll work to help small businesses thrive.

Study after study shows that diversity in the workplace is a good thing and good for business. I believe this wholeheartedly and will work to reverse Trump’s cruel policies in the US Senate.

Healthcare is a human right and should be protected. Science and facts matter. The Trump administration and its incompetent cronies are wreaking havoc on our country and our health. No more. I will continue my fight for healthcare for everyone in the US Senate.

Enough is enough. Illinois deserves better than outside influence trying to buy elections. If you want a real fighter and a winner, you want Robin Kelly. I am unbought and unbossed. On to the US Senate!

This is who will fight and win for you at every level of government. This is who will never be afraid to stand up, speak up or show up for you. This is who will take on political bullies of all kinds and win. This is who will be your next U.S. Senator, Illinois.

Praying for those impacted after tonight’s shooting near Jackson Park. Preventing gun violence is a priority of mine. Period. I will continue my fight in the US Senate. Our communities deserve better. Preventing gun violence and saving lives will always be my top priority.
