“Any Illinois voter who cares about curbing gun violence in our state should know that Robin Kelly is the only choice for the U.S. Senate,” said Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton, an activist who began the Wear Orange movement after losing her 15-year-old daughter Hadiya to gun violence. “Robin has proven her leadership in Congress and is the only candidate who will continue championing lifesaving gun violence prevention legislation in the Senate.”
