About
Mike Kennedy represents Utah's 3rd congressional district in the House, having been elected in 2024. Before his election to Congress, Kennedy served in the Utah State Senate from 2021 to 2025 and in the Utah House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019, where he built a record on education appropriations, health policy, and local government issues. He is both an attorney and physician, bringing professional expertise in healthcare and law to his legislative work. Kennedy previously ran for U.S. Senate in 2018, narrowly winning the Republican convention delegate vote over Mitt Romney before losing the primary election.
In Congress, Kennedy serves on three major committees: Natural Resources, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Science, Space, and Technology. Within these committees, he focuses on federal lands management, energy development, infrastructure, and space policy. His legislative priorities reflect his district's interests, including bills on energy development on federal lands, postal service operations, and geothermal energy reform. Kennedy has sponsored 31 bills during his tenure, concentrating on natural resource management and infrastructure issues relevant to Utah.
Kennedy is known as a strong advocate for Second Amendment rights and has been vocal on gun policy issues. His path to Congress involved winning a competitive Republican primary in 2024 with 39 percent of the vote in a five-candidate field, despite being significantly outspent by his opponents. He first entered the Utah legislature in 2012 after winning a special election to the state House.
