Kevin Kiley is a California Republican congressman from the 3rd District who left the Republican Conference in 2026, serving as an Independent.

Kevin Kiley represents California's 3rd Congressional District as an Independent, having changed his party affiliation from Republican on March 9, 2026, though initially remaining in the Republican Conference. First elected in 2022, Kiley is currently in his second term representing a largely rural eastern California district. A Sacramento-area native with degrees from Harvard and Yale Law School and a master's from Loyola Marymount, Kiley worked as a deputy attorney general in the California Department of Justice and briefly taught high school through Teach for America. He served in the California State Assembly beginning in 2016 and became prominent as a vocal critic of Governor Newsom's pandemic policies, leading the 2021 gubernatorial recall effort. Prior to his committee assignments being vacated following his party change, Kiley served on the House Judiciary Committee and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. His legislative priorities have centered on labor policy, federal responses to California's independent-contractor laws, wildfire management, and federal overreach.
