U.S. Representative Robin Kelly, who serves Illinois’ 2nd congressional district, recently posted several updates on her social media account regarding her office’s outreach and daily activities.

On September 16, 2025, Kelly announced a visit to Pontiac, the westernmost part of her district. She wrote, "My office is traveling to Pontiac — the most western part of the Second District. If you live in Pontiac or nearby and need help with a federal agency, my office will be at the Pontiac City Hall this Wednesday from 11 AM - 2 PM. For any questions, call my Danville office at https://t.co/Swee2aBEm0".

Later that day, she shared a more informal update about an issue with a new banner. At 15:49 UTC on September 16, she posted: "Any idea how to make our new banner fit???". Shortly after, she followed up with a resolution to the problem: "Nvm figured it out."

Robin Kelly has held her seat in Congress since winning a special election in 2013 and has consistently secured re-election by wide margins.
