Kevin Kiley–Backed Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act Signed Into Law | 2026-01-14 | 2026 | 2026-01 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, President Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law, legislation proudly supported by Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA). Rep. Kiley helped pass the bill through the Education & Workforce Committee and supported the bill during a Floor debate. Under previous regulations, schools participating in the National School Lunch Program were required to follow the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which limited milk options to fat-free or low-fat varieties. These restrictions were enforced through U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations. The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act updates those requirements by allowing schools to offer a full range of milk options, including whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, and fat-free milk. The law also permits schools to serve either organic or nonorganic milk. “Whatever basis in science or public health might have once supported these restrictions has long since been debunked,” Rep. Kiley said. “Kids deserve access to the healthiest options available in their school cafeterias. I’m glad we’re finally correcting this mistake.” The law will support hardworking dairy farmers across the country and promote healthy meals for American children.

Kiley Delivers $8+ Million to Strengthen Water Systems, Public Safety, and Emergency Preparedness for Californians | 2026-01-13 | 2026 | 2026-01 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) secured more than $8 million in new funding to support critical public safety upgrades, strengthen water infrastructure, and enhance environmental resilience across California’s Third District. These investments will improve emergency response capabilities, ensure safe and reliable drinking water, and protect vital natural resources for years to come. The funding is part of the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026 that the House passed last week. “By strengthening water infrastructure, modernizing public safety communications, and enhancing environmental resilience, we are helping communities prepare for emergencies, safeguard critical natural resources, and ensure families have access to safe, reliable services,” said Rep. Kiley. “I’m proud to support projects that will make our region safer, stronger, and more resilient for years to come, all while saving millions of dollars in local taxpayer money.” Tahoe City – Improving the Resilience of Critical Water Infrastructure The Tahoe City Public Utility District has been awarded $1.25 million to replace aging and undersized water mains. These upgrades will reduce excessive leaks—currently occurring at rates up to 20 times industry standards—while ensuring reliable drinking water delivery and adequate fire suppression capacity. “The Tahoe City Public Utility District is grateful for the unwavering support of Congressman Kevin Kiley in securing federal funding for critical water infrastructure within the Lake Tahoe Basin,” said TCPUD Board President Gail Scoville. “This marks a meaningful step forward in upgrading aging water systems, strengthening fire suppression capabilities, and ensuring a reliable drinking water supply for our community. We extend our sincere appreciation to Congressman Kiley for his leadership in securing this critical infrastructure investment.” South Tahoe – Enhancing the Resilience of Critical Water Infrastructur… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

| https://kiley.house.gov/posts/how-seniors-benefit-from-the-budget-law | How Seniors Benefit from the Budget Law | 2025-07-24 | 2025 | 2025-07 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | Beginning immediately, seniors in California will see the largest tax relief in our nation’s history, thanks to the recently passed budget law I voted for. I’ve heard from many of you about the growing challenges of living on a fixed income as everyday costs continue to rise. This tax relief is a direct response to those concerns, putting more money back in the pockets of those who need it most. Below, you’ll find many ways the budget improves the lives of seniors, like no tax on Social Security, a higher standard deduction, and additional deductions that will save you money. Higher Standard Deduction: One of the most significant changes in 2025 is the higher standard deduction, which applies to all taxpayers who don’t itemize. For single filers, the standard deduction increases to $15,750. For married couples filing jointly, it rises to $31,500. You don’t need to do anything to claim it. Choose the standard deduction when you file your federal return, and the new amount will automatically apply. Special $6,000 Deduction for Seniors: Besides the standard and senior deductions, the new law provides a temporary $6,000 deduction specifically for Americans age 65 and older with incomes below $75,000, or $150,000 for a joint return. Seniors above that threshold will be eligible for a smaller, increased deduction. It’s estimated to benefit 33.9 million seniors, including seniors who are not claiming Social Security. This amounts to the largest tax break in American history for our nation’s seniors. Major Increase in the SALT Deduction: The State and Local Tax (SALT) cap increased from $10,000 to $40,000, allowing taxpayers who itemize their deductions to subtract certain state and local taxes, including property taxes, income taxes, and sales taxes, from their federal taxable income. Protecting Medicaid/MediCal: Seniors who are also enrolled in Medicaid (Medi-Cal here in California) will see no reduction in their benefits. More Access to Care: The new law provides a 2.5% increase to physician reimbursement fo… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
| https://kiley.house.gov/posts/rep-kiley-touts-major-tax-cuts-in-one-big-beautiful-bill-act | Rep. Kiley Helps Deliver Historic Tax Relief for Californians | 2025-07-03 | 2025 | 2025-07 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON – Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) released the following statement on the House of Representatives passing H.R. 1 – One Big Beautiful Bill Act. “Californians will soon get something long overdue: major tax relief. That is the most immediate consequence of passing today’s legislation, which will benefit all Americans but especially Californians, because of an increase in the SALT deduction. Had the bill failed, Californians would have faced the largest tax increase in U.S. history, costing the average family thousands of dollars. I was committed to making sure that didn’t happen. “The bill also provides crucial support for education, national defense, and border security. And it protects our public lands and rural hospitals – both of which I advocated for throughout the legislative process,” said Rep. Kevin Kiley. | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Kevin Kiley Leads House Debate to Condemn Violent Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles | 2025-06-27 | 2025 | 2025-06 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON – Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) led a House floor debate on Friday to condemn the violent, anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles this month. The House ultimately passed a resolution condemning the riots. Every Republican voted for it, yet only seven Democrats did as well. “This should not be a partisan issue,” Rep. Kiley said. “Attacks on officers and other acts of violence are reprehensible and should be universally condemned. That is not how we settle political differences in this country. I am grateful for all of our officers at the local, state, and federal level for restoring order to LA and for the sacrifices they make every day.” | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
