Rep. Robin Kelly promised to work across the aisle to bring federal funds back for projects helping Illinois's 2nd District. The cited 2026 evidence shows that, while still serving in federal office, she secured Community Project Funding for multiple district projects, including $850,000 for Paxton streetscape improvements and $1.2 million for Jackson Park safety and accessibility upgrades. The Paxton event also included bipartisan/local participation and public credit for Kelly's role, satisfying both the federal-funding and cross-aisle components of the promise.
