Trent Kelly
Kelly voted for every Israel aid bill and against both amendments to cut that aid. His votes are the record here: nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians, and his earlier statements are on the research page.
Kelly represents Mississippi’s 1st District, is the sitting member, and is a National Guard major general.
His recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card, all on the support side, including votes against both amendments to cut aid to Israel. His November 2023 constituent newsletter records joining a letter to Secretary Blinken "calling for the immediate delivery of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Foreign Military Financing (FMF) aid to Israel", the war’s first weeks, so it sits on the research page. A June 2025 radio interview exists only as unwatchable video and is not yet confirmed; a privately sponsored Israel trip appears in the travel registry.
Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians at any date.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 6 of 6 recorded votes.
