It’s a constitutional issue, a First Amendment right, and a foundation of our democracy. The courts have made clear that government officials may not exclude members of the press simply because they don’t like their coverage. I’m urging all members of Congress in both parties to oppose this action and work toward its immediate reversal.” ###",1,2026-10-01T11:23:28Z,2026-10-01T11:25:15Z https://kiley.house.gov/posts/congressman-kevin-kiley-restored-to-key-committee-assignments,Congressman Kevin Kiley Restored to Key Committee Assignments,2026-04-16,2026,2026-04,Independent,House,CA,Kevin Kiley,K000401,kiley.house.gov,kiley,https://kiley.house.gov/press,scraper,"Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Kevin Kiley (I-CA) announced he has been reinstated to his congressional committee assignments in the 119th Congress.

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 Infrastructure The South Tahoe Public Utility District will receive $1.2 million to replace deteriorating water main lines and install new fire hydrants. This project will proactively address aging infrastructure, reduce water quality risks, and ensure a safe, resilient drinking water supply while improving fire protection capabilities. “The South Tahoe Public Utility District extends its gratitude to Congressman Kiley for his pivotal role in enhancing wildfire preparedness in South Lake Tahoe,” said Board President Shane Romsos. “These funds are crucial for replacing outdated water main lines, ensuring a safe drinking water supply, and installing new fire hydrants for our community. We commend Congressman Kiley for his leadership in securing this essential infrastructure investment.” Nevada City – Police Department Portable Radio Equipment Replacement A total of $350,000 has been awarded to the Nevada City Police Department to replace nearly obsolete portable radio equipment. This funding will modernize communications systems, ensuring officers have reliable, up-to-date tools to respond effectively to emergencies and protect public safety. “The Nevada City Police Department faced a unique situation in which we were at risk of losing our ability to electronically communicate via radio,” Nevada City Police Chief Dan Foss said. “This would have been detrimental to the safety of both our officers and the community. The cost of replacing the equipment was devastating to the department and would have significantly affected our ability to provide community service. Thankfully, Congressman Kiley was able to provide the necessary assistance for the Nevada City Police Department to maintain critical radio communications and keep our city protected from both fire and crime. This would not have been possible without direct communication and understanding from Congressman Kiley. Thank you.” City of Roseville – Section 219 Water Infrastructure Project The City of Roseville will receive $5.3 million for preliminary and final design work, along with environmental compliance, for a 15-mile raw water pipeline serving West Placer County. The project will connect an existing Placer County Water Agency intake on the upper American River to Roseville’s Barton Road Water Treatment Plant. This critical infrastructure will: Reduce reliance on a single, aging intake at Folsom Reservoir Improve water reliability during emergencies and droughts Serve residents, two regional hospitals, and a robust manufacturing and business economy Enhance groundwater banking and efficient water use Increase surface water availability in the lower American River for municipal, industrial, and environmental needs “At the end of the day, this project is about families being able to turn on the tap and trust their water is there when they need it,” Roseville Mayor Krista Bernasconi said. “It strengthens reliability during droughts and emergencies, while easing stress on shared water supplies and helping protect the Lower American River, a crown jewel of our region. We appreciate Congressman Kiley’s support, along with Senators Padilla and Schiff’s, in helping secure a dependable water future for Roseville.” “I want to thank Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) for their leadership and support in securing this critical funding for the City of Roseville,” said Rep. Kiley. “Working in a bipartisan manner to deliver real results for Californians is something I will always support.” ###",1,2026-04-04T05:28:40Z,2026-04-04T05:30:10Z https://kiley.house.gov/posts/rep-kiley-joins-cnn-to-discuss-the-situation-in-venezuela,Rep.
