Deploying the National Guard isn't a solution—it's an abuse of power. President Trump is wasting millions of dollars instead of investing in real solutions to gun violence. This is a public health crisis, not a political one.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 5(source)

RFK Jr. has repeatedly spread lies about vaccines. His anti-vax conspiracy theories have caused confusion at every level of government & in the healthcare industry. He’s negatively impacting our country's response to future health crises.

Top US vaccine official resigns over RFK Jr’s ‘misinformation and lies’

Dr Peter Marks was seen as a guardrail against any future politicisation of the FDA’s approval of life-saving vaccines

4.6 million kids live in homes with an unsecured gun. My Safe Storage Saves Lives Act with Rep. Rashida Tlaib requires a gun lock to be provided to every gun owner. Safe storage saves lives — it’s that simple.

Rep. Kelly condemns President Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard to Chicago

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) released the following statement condemning President Donald Trump’s plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 3(source)

Deployment of the National Guard to Chicago is a waste of taxpayer dollars. We need that money for CVI programs, police training & to hire mental health professionals. This isn't a plan to fight crime; it's a political stunt.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 3(source)

Even RFK Jr.’s employees don’t believe he’s fit to lead our country’s health department. His anti-vax and anti-science beliefs endanger our public health. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: RFK Jr. is unqualified.

More than 1,000 HHS workers demand RFK Jr. resign in new letter

"Kennedy's actions are compromising the health of this nation," the Wednesday letter reads.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 3(source)

Keep the National Guard out of Chicago.

My statement on the decision to not seek re-election next year:

August was a busy month as I traveled throughout the District — from our annual barn hall to town halls and every event in between. I’m grateful for your input and trust. Your voice guides me as I continue fighting for you in Washington.

President Trump and House Republicans Big Ugly Law cuts SNAP, Medicare, and Medicaid, making it difficult for hardworking American families to get the support they need—while giving more breaks to billionaires.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 1(source)

This Labor Day, let’s honor the workers and unions who built our nation and the middle class. We must recommit to protecting workers’ rights and fair wages—especially as the Trump Administration continues its attacks on working families.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govAug 31(source)

A vast majority of Americans support commonsense gun safety reform, like universal background checks and safe storage. When will my Republican colleagues listen to our demands and reject the gun lobby? We need real action against gun violence.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govAug 31(source)

Getting ready for tomorrow's backyard BBQ? Thanks to President Trump and his Tariffs, you’ll pay more at the store for hot dogs, burgers, and beer. Let’s be honest — Trump doesn't care about your bottom line; he only cares about his own.

Joined Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez and my colleagues in demanding RFK Jr. conduct transparent implementation of the Rural Health Transformation Program. This funding cannot be a band-aid for the deep, permanent cuts to Medicaid.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govAug 30(source)

Big thanks to the next generation of farmers who came out to my annual barn hall. I appreciate you all taking the time to join us and connect. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll accomplish! 🌱🚜

Chicago is strong because of our community leaders. Every day, real progress is being made to deter crime and save lives from gun violence. President Trump has always threatened and targeted Chicago, but we will not back down.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govAug 30(source)

We are way past "thoughts and prayers." President Trump and his complicit Republicans have blood on their hands and need to act now and reform federal gun laws. Our children deserve action, not empty words.
