Tim Kelly (born December 21, 1956) is an American politician. He was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, first elected in 2012. His district consists of part of Saginaw County.[1]
Prior to his election to the House, Kelly was a member of the Saginaw County Board of Commissioners and chairman of the Saginaw County Republican Party.
He was nominated by President Donald Trump to serve a top position in the Department of Education (Assistant Secretary of Education for Career and Technical Education);[2] however, the administration withdrew the nomination in light of Kelly's statements about women, Muslims, and impoverished parents.[3]
In 2020, Kelly announced that he is running of the United States House of Representatives seat representing Michigan's 5th congressional district.[4] On August 4, 2020, Kelly defeated Earl Lackie in the Republican primary for the congressional seat.[5] On November 3, 2020, Kelly was defeated by incumbent, Dan Kildee.[6]
