Robin Kelly Supporter Dick Durbin Responds to her Withdrawal from DPI Chair Race (Chicago, IL) — The following is a statement from U.S. Senator Richard J. Durbin on the change in leadership at the Democratic Party of Illinois:
“Congresswoman Robin Kelly made history as the first African American woman to chair the Illinois Democratic Party. Her challenge was not just to build a Democratic team, but to move from one man rule to a diverse leadership reflecting our party. She worked hard, and I was proud to back her re-election. Representative Lisa Hernandez has always been a friend. I wish her well, and I look forward to working with her.”
