Education The issue of education is important to our district and to my work in Congress. Health Care I’ve always fought to protect the rights of every American to choose their doctor and get the treatment which works best for them and their family. Pro-Life & Family Values “America’s belief in the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is what makes our nation the greatest in the world. As long as I represent the 16th District of Pennsylvania, I will continue to defend these unalienable rights, and work to protect the most vulnerable among us, especially the unborn.” Second Amendment Rights Rep. Kelly is a strong believer in the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. It protects law-abiding citizens from the government’s infringement on our right to keep and bear arms. Seniors & Retirement Security Rep. Kelly believes every hardworking American deserves a comfortable retirement. With Pennsylvanians living longer and spending more of their golden years in retirement, it is important they have an adequate nest egg for a secure retirement. Tax Reform, Small Business, & The Economy As a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Kelly plays an important role in planning for the federal government’s revenue and spending blueprint determining how best to raise revenue and wisely spend taxpayer dollars. Transportation & Infrastructure Our infrastructure is strongly interconnected with Americans’ way of life, the U.S. economy, and our national defense. We must reinvest in our country’s infrastructure today to support the cars, planes, and railroads that move goods and services, and the millions of Americans that use federal roads and highways. Veterans & Defense There are many veterans that live in our district and their issues are important to me and to my work in Congress.","source_url":"https://kelly.house.gov/issues","source_date":"2026-05-10"},{"topic":"Cryptocurrency","stance":"Voted YES on HJ Res 25, repealing the IRS rule that would have required DeFi brokers to report crypto transactions — signed into law by President Trump (Bill: hjres25-119)","detail":"H.J.Res.25 (Congressional Review Act) was signed into law, repealing the IRS rule requiring DeFi protocols to report users' crypto transactions as \"brokers.\" Passed the House 286-X on March 11, 2025 with bipartisan support.
