Barbara Lee that called for a congressional resolution on strikes and cautioned that the situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[164][165] The letter also called on the Obama administration to work with the U.N. Security Council “to build international consensus” condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. Kelly was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[164][165]

Statement on government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
Kelly released a statement on the shutdown: “Today, due to the irresponsible tactics of House Republicans, the federal government has shut down for the first time in 17 years. Let’s be clear: This shutdown is not about the Affordable Care Act. It’s about a faction of the Republican Party putting their extremist ideology ahead of the best interests of the American people. The shutdown will be devastating to our country’s fragile economic recovery. Millions of Americans will be left in limbo – federal employees who will be furloughed, veterans who will see their disability payments disrupted and small business owners whose loan applications will be delayed. These are the very real consequences of partisan game playing. We cannot and should not govern by ultimatum. Congress owes it to the American people to immediately pass a bi-partisan spending plan to re-open the government.”[166]

Noteworthy events
FEC banned from fundraising (2021)
On July 15, 2021, the Federal Election Commission ruled that Kelly could no longer be involved in raising or spending money for state and local office candidates in her new role as Illinois Democratic chair. The FEC also prohibited her from using her name and title on state fundraising solicitations. Kelly said the ruling “affirms my vision for a new Democratic Party of Illinois that encourages more voices to be involved in all aspects of the party.”[179]
