Robin Kelly, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Illinois' 2nd district, recently shared several updates on social media reflecting her ongoing public service activities and political viewpoints.
On February 21, 2025, Kelly commemorated the legacy of John Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. She posted a tweet stating: "On what would’ve been his 85th birthday, I’m honoring the legacy of my dear friend, John Lewis. This #JohnLewisSelfie was taken during a sit-in on the House floor to protest Congress’ lack of action on gun safety. He taught us to create Good Trouble."
Later that day, Kelly visited the University of Chicago Law School to engage with students about her career in public service and discuss current political issues. In her tweet from February 21, she remarked: "I visited the University of Chicago Law School to speak with students about my career in public service and share my thoughts on our political climate. The conversation that I had with these future lawyers was inspiring. The future is bright with their passion and curiosity."
On February 22, Kelly expressed criticism towards former President Trump’s policies in a tweet, asserting: "Your hard-earned money is being stolen to reward President Trump’s billionaire friends and corporate allies. It’s the Republican Rip-Off. I won’t stand by and let it happen." She encouraged followers to sign up for her newsletter for more information on how they are countering these actions.
