It was great to join Judge John Trucilla and his students at Penn State Behrend in Erie County this week! We discussed some of the top issues facing the United States, the American legal process, and more. I always enjoy speaking with students as they become active participants in our democracy.

The Working Families Tax Cuts saved tipped workers THOUSANDS of dollars when they filed their taxes this year!

I recently had a chance to visit with the team at Sport Clips in Butler, where we heard firsthand how this policy is helping hardworking Pennsylvanians.

Thanks for hosting us and for sharing your stories!

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District is home to one of the highest concentrations of small manufacturers in the United States.

The Working Families Tax Cuts not only delivered historic tax relief and prevented a massive tax hike, but the law also invested in manufacturers across Pennsylvania.

✅223,000 jobs protected
✅$40 billion in GDP saved
✅$21 billion in wages saved

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

96.5% of Pennsylvania's fire departments are operated either completely or mostly by volunteers. When others run away from danger, they are running toward it.

Our latest edition of Congress in the Community takes us to Meadville, where the team at West Mead #1 Volunteer Fire Company shares how working with our office to secure federal grant funding allowed them to purchase a new fire truck to serve communities across Crawford County and our region.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed The Ratepayer Protection Act.

This legislation requires that the companies building data centers are the ones paying for the electricity needed to power them, not hardworking Pennsylvania families.

📺The latest edition of "Congress in the Community" is out now!

Today’s visit takes us to Saxonburg, Butler County, where owners of Sprankle's Neighborhood Market explain how the Working Families Tax Cuts law passed in 2025 is helping to grow their family-owned business and support employees for years to come.

As Co-Chair of the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus, I was proud to speak at the 17th Annual Childhood Cancer Summit alongside advocates, researchers, families, and colleagues who share our commitment to improving outcomes for children battling cancer.

We must continue working together to advance lifesaving research, develop better treatments, and ultimately find cures for childhood cancer.

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

Farmers and farm families are the backbone of our nation, and agriculture remains a vital part of Pennsylvania’s economy and communities.

I’m proud to co-sponsor legislation led by @RepMann recognizing National Teach Ag Day and highlighting the importance of agricultural education in our schools. Programs like these give young Americans the opportunity to learn where our food comes from, develop valuable skills, and explore careers in agriculture.

Thank you to our agriculture educators, students, farmers, and farm families who are helping keep this important industry strong for generations to come!

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

Pennsylvania families shouldn't be footing the bill to power data centers.

On Wednesday, I voted for the Ratepayer Protection Act which puts local families first and reestablishes commonsense energy policy in the United States.

It was great to welcome the Butler County Commissioners to Washington today to discuss the next steps toward completing the Route 228 project.

The Gateway 228 project has been a true partnership between federal, state, and local leaders, and we’re now working to get this critical project across the finish line. Completing Route 228 will strengthen our local infrastructure, support continued economic growth, and better connect communities across Butler County.

It’s always good to sit down with our local leaders and continue strengthening the partnerships that help move Butler County forward.

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

I'm proud to support the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which passed @WaysandMeansGOP today.

Digital assets are an increasingly important part of our economy, and the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act allows our tax code to keep pace with innovation. This legislation provides a clear roadmap for Americans who use digital assets, and it establishes rules of the road for taxation and enforcement without granting special treatment.

The Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act also includes my legislation, the Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act, which would allow for widely traded digital assets to be eligible for charitable contributions.

Watch my full remarks⬇️

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

PASSED: The Ways and Means Committee just passed the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act — a historic step toward establishing a clear tax framework for digital assets.

Through strong bipartisan collaboration, Republicans and Democrats came together to modernize outdated tax rules that have failed to keep pace as digital assets become part of everyday life for millions of Americans, putting them on a level playing field with traditional financial assets.

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

Earlier this month, I was honored to attend the Hyundai @hopeonwheels Gala in Washington, D.C., bringing together advocates, researchers, survivors, families, and leaders committed to the fight against childhood cancer.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognize the courageous children and families impacted by pediatric cancer and the doctors and researchers working every day to find better treatments and cures.

As Co-Chair of the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus and the House Cancer Caucus, I’m proud to continue supporting efforts that advance lifesaving research and give every child battling cancer hope for a brighter, healthier future.

Thank you to Hyundai Hope on Wheels for 28 years of dedication to this important mission and for investing more than $303 million in pediatric cancer research and care.

[Republican Study Committee @RepublicanStudy]

🚨 Republicans have spent the last 19 months doing exactly what America needed: a complete 180 from the Biden-Harris years.

✅ Secured the border
✅ Made our communities SAFER by getting criminals off the streets
✅ Delivered HISTORIC tax relief
✅ Brought manufacturing back to the U.S.
✅ Helped rebuild a stronger military
✅ Made America energy independent again

We're getting the job done and delivering on the mandate. 🇺🇸

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

I want to commend the diligent work of the FBI and law enforcement officials for apprehending this individual before he could potentially follow through with this alleged attack. Their work has made our community safer. This disgusting, hate-filled extremism has no place in our nation.

My legislation, the "Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act," would modernize the Medicare Advantage prior authorization process. With more than 300 House co-sponsors, the bill already has a bipartisan supermajority.

📺In the latest edition of "Congress in the Community," we hear from an Erie doctor who shares how this bill would improve patient care and patient outcomes for 35 million American seniors, including more than 1.5 million Pennsylvanians.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

MUST WATCH: The incredible true story of the U.S. Air Force officer shot down in Iran, his heroic rescue, and his faith that sustained him.

The greatest military in the history of the world.

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

My team and I continue to push for more details about the future of the South Erie Post Office. The facility has been closed for nearly a year. Erie residents deserve answers.

I spoke with @GoErie this week about our latest efforts to reopen the Post Office.

Today, I had the honor of visiting the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pa. to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. The ceremony was incredibly moving.

We will never forget what happened here 25 years ago.

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

Today, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, I encourage everyone to take a moment to pause, honor, and reflect on the events and lives lost on that day in 2001.

Now, a quarter century later, it is incumbent upon the American people to once again condemn the hate-filled acts of that day orchestrated by radical Islamic terrorists who sought to cause harm to the greatest, freest, and most generous country the world has ever known.

In our nation’s darkest hours, the American people always find a light and overcome their biggest challenges. It’s who we are, and who we will continue to be.

May God Bless America. We will never forget.

[Rep. Mike Kelly @MikeKellyPA]

From its earliest days, Erie has shaped American history. It was on the shores of Presque Isle Bay where Daniel Dobbins built a fleet of naval ships later commanded by a young Oliver Hazard Perry during the Battle of Lake Erie.

This morning, on those very shores, I joined a commemoration ceremony honoring the 100th anniversary of Perry Monument.

Today's ceremony is a fitting tribute to Perry, to Erie, to the United States Navy, and to the United States of America.
