CHICAGO (AP) ? As the Democratic nominee to replace former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., Robin Kelly has vowed to become a leading voice for federal gun-control legislation.
But it remains to be seen if her primary win in the Chicago-area district fuels the national debate.
The former state representative emerged early as a voice for gun control in the truncated primary season after Jackson resigned. She gained momentum as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's super PAC poured $2 million into the race.
Political experts say Kelly was smart to jump on gun control at a time when Chicago was seeing a spike in homicides. Also, they say the super PAC money was effective in reaching people.
However, gun rights advocates say Kelly's win was an aberration and it won't ripple far.
