Robin Kelly Issues Statement in Support of Texas Democrats' Fight against Unfair Congressional Maps

PARK FOREST, ILL. – Congresswoman Robin Kelly, candidate for U.S. Senate, issued the following statement today:

"Donald Trump and national Republicans know that Americans are rejecting their failed policies. They are doing everything they can to rig legislative maps and pass the most partisan gerrymandering our nation has ever seen.

I’m proud to stand with the courageous Texas Democrats who have come to Illinois to break quorum and stop this assault on voting rights. Some of my most experienced and effective colleagues could lose their seats entirely with this nonsense and we cannot stand for it or normalize it.

Our democracy is under attack like never before, and our country needs Democrats to stand up and fight back. I’ve been fighting to protect, expand and preserve voting rights for decades, and I will continue to fight to strengthen our democracy in the United States Senate."
