Meet Mike

Congressman Mike Kennedy is serving his first term in the United States House of Representatives. Before being elected to Congress, he served ten years in Utah’s part-time State Legislature where he represented communities across Utah County and earned a reputation as a principled conservative willing to take on tough issues, have thoughtful conversations, and stand up for Utah families.

Dr. Kennedy practiced family medicine in Utah County for more than two decades, caring for patients and their families through every stage of life. Early in his medical career, he saw how complicated laws and regulations could affect both doctors and patients. To better advocate for his patients in an increasingly complex environment, Mike began attending law school at night after completing his medical residency, eventually earning his law degree and becoming an attorney. In addition to his work in medicine and law, Kennedy also helped build and operate a small business before joining Congress.

For many years, Kennedy volunteered his time providing free medical care to uninsured families in Utah County. His experiences as a physician reinforced his belief in strong families, personal responsibility, and the importance of lending a hand to a neighbor in need.

During his time in the Utah State Legislature, Kennedy built a strong, conservative record focused on protecting life, defending constitutional freedoms, delivering tax relief, and expanding opportunities for families and small businesses. He worked to cut unnecessary regulations, support economic growth, and ensure government remains accountable to the people it serves, learning that even the toughest challenges can be solved when leaders are willing to work together and focus on commonsense solutions

In Congress, Kennedy is focused on lowering costs for families, restoring fiscal discipline and accountability in Washington, securing the border, strengthening American energy production, and defending the freedoms that make Utah strong and America great.

Mike and his wife, Katrina, live in Utah County. Married for over thirty years, they are the proud parents of eight children and have been blessed with twelve wonderful grandchildren. In his spare time, Mike enjoys reading scripture, spending time with his family, working out, and a good bowl of ice cream.
