Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) issued the following statement on the removal of Speaker Kevin McCarthy:
“I remain dedicated to fulfilling my Constitutional responsibility to govern responsibly for the people of the Illinois Second Congressional District, and our entire nation. This is a solemn day, House Republicans have been driven by disruption, dysfunction, and extremism.
“Alongside my Democratic colleagues, I remain committed to prioritizing the interests of the people over politics, seeking common ground, and effectively serving my constituents. The responsibility to resolve their internal conflicts and extremism now falls upon House Republicans.
“I will continue to work hard and deliver for the people of Illinois. My priority is always my constituents.”
