Rep. Kevin Kiley, who represents California’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, has recently posted a series of statements on social media addressing issues ranging from self-driving car safety to state spending on education and emergency services.
On December 3, 2025, Kiley wrote: “The data on self-driving cars, including Waymo and to some extent Tesla, shows they are already overwhelmingly safer than human-operated vehicles. With 40,000 people dying on our roads every year, we can save tens of thousands of lives by expanding access to this technology.”
Two days later, on December 4, 2025, he commented on the cancellation of a major public safety project: “Californians have been charged extra fees on their phone service the last six years to fund a ‘Next Generation 911 System.’ Yet after spending $450 million, Newsom just scrapped the whole project because the technology doesn’t work. Our government is broken.”
On December 5, 2025, Kiley addressed concerns about educational outcomes at a University of California campus: “UC San Diego is sounding the alarm that incoming students can’t do basic math. They’ve had to add remedial courses covering elementary and junior high level skills.
California has increased education spending nearly $40 billion during Newsom’s tenure. And this is the result.”
Kevin Kiley began serving in Congress in 2023 after previously holding office in the California State Assembly from 2016 to 2022. He was born in Sacramento in 1985 and currently resides in Rocklin. Kiley holds degrees from Harvard University and Yale Law School.
