Assessments
Kelly was serving in federal office when the House passed H.R. 1 on July 3, 2025, and he voted Aye on the final House motion to concur. The enacted reconciliation bill included Armed Services provisions appropriating FY2025 defense resources for munitions, defense supply chain resiliency, shipbuilding, air and missile defense, readiness, and military mission support. That directly matches the promise to support budget reconciliation legislation providing defense resources, so the outcome was delivered in the same term.
