U.S. Representative Robin Kelly used her social media platform on September 13, 2025, to address a range of issues including transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case, humanitarian concerns in Gaza, and workforce development in Illinois.

In a post published at 01:00 UTC, Kelly called for openness related to the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. She stated, "For justice to be served for Jeffrey Epstein's victims, we must have full transparency. Right now, the White House is doing what it does best: protecting the elite. I will keep fighting to ensure the Epstein Files are released and the truth comes to light."

Later that morning at 02:02 UTC, Kelly shared her experience meeting with Chicago-based medical professionals who had recently worked in Gaza. She wrote, "I met with doctors & a registered nurse from Chicago who courageously ran toward cries for help in Gaza. Their accounts shed light on the unimaginable suffering & urgent humanitarian needs of Palestinians. Thank you for sharing the truth of what you witnessed."

By mid-afternoon at 15:00 UTC, Kelly highlighted her visit to a local labor training center. She posted, "Had a great visit at the IBEW Local 9 training site in Tinley Park! I saw how they're bringing young adults into the trades, and training them to keep our electrical and communication wires, rail roads, and traffic signals running efficiently."

Robin Kelly has maintained strong electoral support throughout her congressional career. In recent elections she won against Thomas Lynch in 2022 by securing over two-thirds of the vote; previous victories include defeating Theresa Raborn in 2020 with nearly 79% of ballots cast in her favor as well as similarly decisive wins against David Merkle (2018), John Morrow (2016), and Eric Wallace (2014).
