U.S. Representative Robin Kelly used her social media platform this week to highlight several key issues, including voter registration, women's health advocacy, and organ transplant policy.

On September 16, 2025, Kelly marked National Voter Registration Day by encouraging constituents to participate in the democratic process. She wrote, "Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, the perfect time to register to vote, update your information, or double-check your status. It's quick, easy, and essential for making sure your vote counts. Head over to https://t.co/pxuy3IyNhH to get started."

Later that day, Kelly turned her attention to women's health initiatives. In a post on September 16, she stated, "Prioritizing women's health is critical. Today, I joined @TheMandyMoore, @Lupita_Nyongo, @SWHR, and lawmakers to advocate for federal funding to close the gender health gap. Thank you for sharing your stories to create change for women and the next generation of girls."

On September 17, Kelly discussed legislative progress related to organ transplantation. She posted: "My bill, the Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act, continues to drive progress! My new provision allows HRSA to collect fees, which will fund modernization efforts and ensure more Americans receive life-saving transplants."

Robin Kelly has served as a U.S. Representative since 2013 and has consistently secured re-election with significant margins against various opponents in general elections from 2014 through 2022.
