Kelvin Coburn, a GSL member and part-time emcee of our Sangamon County Guns Save Life chapter, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for State Rep. in the 95th District near Springfield. Coburn stands out as a hard-core conservative unafraid to articulate a strong message. He’s most certainly not from the establishment class. No doubt they’ll do their best to torpedo his candidacy. But Coburn’s got guts. A guts is what it takes for great people to take America back.
Here’s a story from The Illinois Republican.
Kelvin Coburn Announces His Run For State Representative District 95
by Val Ojeda
I was first approached about this candidate Kelvin Coburn, by John Anthony from the radio show “Black and Right” He told me “Val, meet this guy, he’s another me” So, I heard John out and found Kelvin to be more interesting than what John was selling to me. Kelvin is an auditor by trade and a successful businessman. He is employed by the State of Illinois and understands government.
What’s truly amazing is that he is a Black Conservative Republican. Not only that, he’s Grassroots. Of the people and by the people.
He decided to run challenging another Republican in the 2024 GOP primary because he feels he is a better fit for the district because he chooses to be a public servant versus a politician. He feels that the people of the district are looking for a leader, and he fits the mold that they are seeking for genuine change.
Furthermore, he is facing a freshman Representative, Mike Coffey in the 95 Illinois House District that was recently appointed to fill Representative Tim Butlers seat after he resigned from the Illinois House.

Federal tax law prohibits Guns Save Life from endorsing candidates or political parties. We can, however, educate members of the community on candidates’ stands on the gun rights issue.
We don’t know much about Mr. Coffey. We do know that he’s been in office for almost twenty months and I’m not sure he’s ever made an appearance at our huge Sangamon County chapter meeting at Scheels in Springfield. Maybe he’s a little squeamish on guns? Maybe he takes gun owner support for granted? Who knows. But we know his challenger well. And so do our members.
Kelvin’s a great guy who won’t shy away from the gun rights issue. He hasn’t until now and we don’t expect him to go soft after drinking the water in Springfield. After all, he’s been working there for a couple of decades.
