Kevin Kiley, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 3rd district since 2023, has recently posted a series of statements on social media addressing state policy and economic issues.
On April 6, 2026, Kiley commented on the termination of federal funding for California’s high-speed rail project, stating: “I am very glad we cut off all federal funding for CA High-Speed Rail. This is the most important step for terminating the project and sparing our taxpayers $125 billion.”
Later that day, he referenced a new report evaluating California’s economy under Governor Newsom: “A new report titled ‘California’s Economic Performance Review 2025’ paints an absolutely damning picture of our state’s decline during Newsom’s governorship:
-Highest unemployment rate in the nation at 5.5%, with over 1 million unemployed workers
-181,700 private sector jobs” (April 6, 2026).
On April 8, 2026, Kiley made another statement regarding fraud in California: “California is without question the Fraud Capital of the United States. We are finally seeing accountability”.
Kiley succeeded John Garamendi as representative of California’s 3rd district in Congress and previously served in the California State Assembly from 2016 to 2022. Born in Sacramento in 1985 and currently residing in Rocklin, Kiley holds degrees from Harvard University and Yale Law School.
