FIRST IN POLITICO: The Congressional Black Caucus PAC — which operates with the goal of increasing the number of Black members in Congress — is jumping into the race to replace retiring Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin with an endorsement for Congresswoman Robin Kelly. “We’re excited to continue to grow our representation in the Senate with one of our own,” New York Rep. Gregory Meeks, who chairs the PAC, said in a statement.

He added that Kelly is a “fierce advocate on gun violence prevention, maternal health and health care.” Kelly is locked in a crowded race for the Senate seat along with fellow Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton.
