Born Here. Raised Here. Working for Here.

The son of a special education teacher and a doctor, Kevin grew up right here, graduated from Granite Bay High School, and started his career as a 10th grade English teacher, chairing his school's English Department. After earning his law degree, he served as a prosecutor and Deputy Attorney General, representing the People of California against violent felons and helping prosecute the civil case against China's Huawei for intellectual property theft. Elected to the State Assembly in 2016 and to Congress in 2022, Kevin has spent his career close to home — and he still lives in Rocklin with his wife Chelsee.

Kevin has brought home over $200 million in federal appropriations and grants for the region — including a $22.5 million BUILD grant, the only one in California, to fix traffic at the Highway 65/Interstate 80 interchange, and the Lake Tahoe Restoration Reauthorization Act, which he led through the House to unlock $410 million to protect Lake Tahoe and reduce wildfire risk. He also led a successful bipartisan effort to restore Medicare funding for senior programs. His office has closed nearly 6,000 constituent cases and returned over $20 million to the people he serves — earning the nonpartisan Congressional Management Foundation's Best of Constituent Service award.

Gas, electricity, water, housing, groceries — families in this region are being squeezed from every direction. Kevin has opposed policies in both Sacramento and Washington that drive costs up, and worked with both sides on common-sense solutions to bring them down — including the Fix It Act, healthcare cost legislation he introduced with a Democratic congressman from California to save families thousands of dollars.

Before Congress, Kevin taught 10th grade English. Now he chairs the House Subcommittee on K-12 Education — bringing a classroom teacher's perspective to national education policy. He believes we need to invest in our schools, and that every child in every neighborhood of this district deserves access to a great education.

Kevin helped lead the successful passage of Proposition 36 to restore common-sense accountability for crime, and has secured key federal funding for local law enforcement agencies across the region. He is focused on holding violent criminals accountable and protecting kids from fentanyl — practical public safety, not political theater.

In a Congress split nearly down the middle, one member who answers to his hometown instead of a party machine holds real leverage — the ability to work with anyone, challenge everyone, and force Washington to pay attention to this region. Kevin has already shown what that looks like: the one Independent in the House, chairing a subcommittee, passing bipartisan bills, and delivering for the district he grew up in. Under his Independent Pledge, a re-elected Kevin Kiley will caucus with neither party — a vote both sides have to earn, held by this region alone.

Neither. Kiley is the only Independent Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first Independent to chair a committee hearing in over 70 years. He has signed the Independent Pledge: if re-elected, he will not caucus with either party in the next Congress. His focus isn't red or blue — it's the cost of living, safe communities, good schools, and roads that actually move.
