PRESS RELEASE

45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson Michael Rabbitt Endorses Robin Kelly for U.S. Senate

"As 45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson, I am proud to endorse U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly for election to the U.S. Senate. Robin Kelly has consistently demonstrated the progressive values, dedication to public service, and legislative effectiveness that our state -- and our nation -- desperately needs in the Senate.

Congresswoman Kelly's "People Over Profits" platform is the philosophical core of her commitment to fighting for working families. Her tenure in Congress is marked by significant, tangible accomplishments, particularly on healthcare issues.

In an era when civil rights and democratic norms are under threat, Robin Kelly has stood firm. Her national leadership on impeaching DHS Secretary Kristi Noem demonstrates her commitment to justice and defending our communities.

Robin Kelly has also shown remarkable courage and clarity on complex foreign policy matters, specifically regarding the conflict in Gaza and Israel. Her decisive leadership on initiatives like the "Block the Bombs" movement highlights her commitment to progressive foreign policy that prioritizes peace, accountability, and the end of militarism.

Robin Kelly is the clear choice for the U.S. Senate. She has the platform, experience, courage, and deep commitment to justice that Illinois deserves. Please join me in supporting Robin Kelly, and spread the word among your families, friends, and neighbors!"

- Michael Rabbitt, 45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson
