Proudly serving Utah's 3rd Congressional District
Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee on Federal Lands 🏔️

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and answered the call to defend our freedoms.

It was a privilege to stand alongside my bipartisan colleagues in Congress today to recognize the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our nation.

We owe our veterans a debt of gratitude that can never fully be repaid. Happy Veterans Day!

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

Congratulations to @Jim_Jordan on being elected House Republican Leader.

@Jim_Jordan is a proven fighter who can lead us through the years ahead. I look forward to working alongside him to hold Washington accountable and deliver for the people of Utah.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

I’m always thankful for the opportunity to be home in Utah County, especially to join conversations about an issue as important as the future of Utah Lake.

I’m grateful for the scientists, local leaders, and dedicated stewards working to restore and protect the lake. I’ll continue working in Congress to support their efforts and preserve Utah’s natural resources for generations to come.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

There is work to do, and I remain as committed as ever to getting it done.

My duty is to the people of Utah. Whatever the political climate in Washington, I will work to deliver results for our state, defend our people and their freedoms, and ensure every Utahn has the chance to build a better future.

The principles that guide this work are bigger than any one of us: individual freedom, faith, family, limited government, and opportunity. These are the values that made America the greatest country on earth, and I will fight for them.

To everyone willing to stand alongside me, thank you. I believe we’re just getting started.

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

A very timely message.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

It was a pleasure to speak at the @47G_Utah Summit alongside former Representative Chris Stewart about global AI competition and the role of government in this rapidly evolving field.

Thank you to @47G_Utah for bringing together leaders and keeping Utah at the forefront of these important conversations.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

Great meeting with @ABABankers today.

Strong community banks help build strong communities. That’s why I co-sponsored @FinancialCmte ’s Main Street Capital Access Act to help local businesses access the capital they need to grow, create jobs, and support our working families.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

Americans reported losing nearly $16 billion to fraud last year, a record high. Because so much fraud goes unreported, the true cost is likely closer to $200 billion. Behind every dollar is someone’s paycheck, savings, or retirement.

Restoring accountability has never been more urgent.

Thank you to @RepFrenchHill for leading the charge on these critical issues.

More American energy, less permitting delay

@RepMikeKennedy’s “License to Drill Act,” just passed the Senate, ensuring @BLMNational has the resources it needs to streamline oil and gas permits and unleash American energy dominance.

Republicans are delivering for the American people!

Serving you and delivering results.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

SIGNED: My bill, the License to Drill Act, has officially been signed into law by @POTUS.

For Utah and communities across the country, this legislation will reduce permitting delays, strengthen American energy production, help improve energy affordability, and support the U.S. in keeping up with growing energy demand.

The future of American energy independence is bright.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour Texas Instruments’ semiconductor manufacturing campus in Lehi, alongside U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

The facility currently under construction has 750 construction workers on site and represents an $11 billion investment, featuring 620,000 square feet of cleanroom space. This massive project is part of TI’s broader $60 billion commitment to American manufacturing.

It’s inspiring to see the future of American innovation and tech manufacturing right here in our backyard.

Thank you to the team at Texas Instruments for hosting us and showing off the incredible work being done to power the technology of tomorrow.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

Always great to be back at BYU—a place where I spent so many meaningful years. It was a privilege to tour campus with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer during his visit to Utah.

Thank you, Ambassador Greer, for your time and for an insightful conversation on federal trade policy and our 'America First' trade priorities.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

It was great to attend the Orem Fire Department Training Facility Open House.

This facility gives first responders across Orem, Lindon & Vineyard the tools to train together and keep our families safe.

Thank you to our brave first responders!

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

The relocation of the U.S. Forest Service to Utah is pragmatic, effective governance.

We know by bringing leadership to the West, we would better align federal efforts with those who truly understand our lands and the solutions they require.

Instead, a judge has blocked Utah’s opportunity to lead and deliver—not just for the West and our unique needs, but for the benefit of all America.

[KUTV2news @KUTV2News]

Federal judge temporarily blocks plans to move US Forest Service headquarters to Salt Lake City, ruling the relocation likely violates federal spending laws.

Since taking office, I’ve hosted a bi-annual meeting with our state and federal delegations. It’s a meeting where state legislators, local leaders, and federal officials unite around our common goal of making Utah as strong as possible.

America wins when Utah leads Thank you to those who work tirelessly to make Utah the best state in the nation.

[Rep. Mike Kennedy, M.D. @RepMikeKennedy]

As Utah leads the way in protecting our children from the harms of social media and AI, I am working to ensure the federal government is an active partner in those efforts. That is why I am co-leading the Protecting Kids from Human-Like Chatbots Act.

Human-like AI chatbots pose significant emotional, psychological and safety risks by mimicking real human relationships. AI needs to be a tool, not a friend. This bill sets clear boundaries for how chatbots interact with our children and puts parents fully in charge of these features.
