Robin Kelly has stood by SDAIL and the students of Illinois every day that she has been in Congress. In the Senate she will continue to be that tireless leader for gun violence prevention an we could not be more happy that she has received the Gun Sense Candidate Distinction.

Every day in America, 125 people are killed with a gun, perpetuating a cycle of senseless violence in our country. As a proud member of SAFER — a group of legislators nationwide dedicated to reducing gun violence — today I #WearOrange in our united call to end gun violence.

Thank you for everything @SenatorDurbin. Our state and nation are better off because of your service and leadership. I love you ❤️

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.
