WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Representative Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced key staff promotions within her congressional office, naming Brandon DiFulvio as Chief of Staff and Kevin Kiser as Communications Director.
Brandon DiFulvio steps into the role of Chief of Staff following the departure of longtime Chief of Staff Matt McMurray, who served in Congresswoman Kelly's office since her first day in office. Brandon, previously her Legislative Director, has been an integral part of Rep. Kelly's team for over eight years, rising through the office after starting his career as a congressional intern.
"I am excited and honored to be promoted to Chief of Staff for Congresswoman Kelly," said DiFulvio. "Since joining her office as an intern more than eight years ago, I have seen firsthand her unwavering commitment to the people of Illinois' Second Congressional District. I am grateful for her trust and look forward to helping her continue to deliver results for the district."
Joining DiFulvio in senior leadership, Kevin Kiser has been promoted to Communications Director. Kevin has served on Congresswoman Kelly's team handling digital communications and outreach, helping amplify her legislative priorities and public advocacy across Illinois and nationally.
"I am honored to take on the role of Communications Director for Congresswoman Kelly," said Kiser. "Congresswoman Kelly has spent her career fighting for our families and expanding opportunities, and I'm proud to help communicate that work to the people of Illinois' Second District."
"I am thrilled to announce Brandon DiFulvio as my new Chief of Staff and Kevin Kiser as Communications Director," said Congresswoman Robin Kelly. "Brandon has grown with my office over the last eight years, and his dedication to my constituents is unmatched. Kevin has been an integral part of the team and I know he will bring the same commitment as Communications Director, elevating our message and strengthening how we connect with our community. Together, we will continue delivering results for my constituents."
