After entering the race on December 2, Kelly had 29 days to raise funds before the end of the filing period, which closed December 31.

Kelly amassed a war chest of $200,209 from 514 individual supporters in that short period, reinforcing her status as a frontrunner.

“I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from my neighbors across Chicago and the Southland,” Kelly said. “In Congress, I’ll work with President Obama to fight for common sense gun control, to incentivize our small businesses to create jobs, to invest in our children and to stop the Tea Party’s efforts to gut Medicare and Social Security.”

I believe we need more leaders in Congress addressing the issue of gun violence in our cities and our communities. For this reason, I believe we must all speak with one voice on this urgent matter.

We all share a common goal. To that end, stand with Robin Kelly and her leadership, and ask her fellow candidates for the second Congressional district of Illinois to pledge to support her initiative to reduce gun violence by clicking here and signing “Robin’s Pledge”.
