Representative Trent Kelly

December 9, 2021

Dear Friend,

Last week, it was my honor to join Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch on the steps of the United States Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., in support of historic legislation passed by the Mississippi Legislature in 2018 that restricts abortion after 15 weeks. U.S. Supreme Court Justices heard oral arguments from General Fitch's legal team on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization to determine whether states should have the authority to restrict abortions. As your Representative, it is my sworn duty to defend the values that we share - that the lives of our unborn children must be protected. They must have a voice.

actions in the house

This week, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2022 passed the U.S. House of Representatives. As the Ranking Member for the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, I am proud to pass the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This legislation will ensure Combatant Commanders rapidly receive the intelligence they need in the field, continues modernization efforts safeguarding our competitive edge over China, and eliminate all Red Flag provisions previously included in this bill. I appreciate my defense staff, Rodney Hall, Jr., Tony Starks, and Colin Hawkins, for their steadfast work on this bill.
