Rep. Mike Kelly, currently serving in the U.S. Congress and representing Pennsylvania’s 16th district since 2011, has shared several updates through his social media platform. The tweets cover a range of topics from monitoring local news to legislative efforts supporting family farms and tax credit extensions.

On February 9, 2025, Rep. Kelly expressed concern over an unfolding situation in Saegertown. He stated, "My team and I are monitoring the news in Saegertown. I’m praying for everyone on the scene." This message reflects his attentiveness to events affecting his constituents.

On February 10, 2025, he highlighted a legislative initiative with potential impacts on local agriculture: "The Family Farm and Small Business Exemption Act levels the playing field and supports Pennsylvania's farm families." This act is intended to provide equitable support to small businesses within the state.

Later that same day, Rep. Kelly announced another significant legislative effort alongside Representative Claudia Tenney: "Last week, I introduced The New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act with @RepTenney! The New Markets Tax Credit is a pro-growth tax policy that has already revitalized communities and neighborhoods in the areas that need help the most, including projects in Western Pennsylvania.…" This extension act aims to continue fostering economic growth in underdeveloped areas through targeted tax incentives.
