On Tuesday, June 2, 2015, Trent Kelly won a special election runoff to represent the First District of Mississippi in the 114th Congress.
Trent lives in Saltillo with his wife of 31 years, Sheila, and their three children John Forrest, Morgan, and Jackson. They are members of Saltillo First United Methodist Church.
Trent was born on March 1, 1966, in Union, Mississippi to parents John and Barbara Kelly. He graduated from Union High School and East Central Community College. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi and law degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law. In 2010, he received his master’s degree in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
It is pretty clear that the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare, failed to live up to the promises made by this Administration. Americans were left with increased premiums and deductibles, fewer doctors, and the bureaucratic nightmare of navigating a complex law that was rushed through Congress and no one read. I look forward to working with my colleagues to put forth additional legislation that puts people in charge of their healthcare decisions, not the federal government.
