About Kelly

Kelly Moller was elected to the House of Representatives in 2018 to represent the communities of Arden Hills, Mounds View, and Shoreview. She is running for re-election in district 40A, which now includes part of New Brighton. Kelly is a career prosecutor, victim rights advocate, and Shoreview mother, with deep roots in our community.

Kelly has authored or co-authored hundreds of bills, many of which have been signed into law with bipartisan support. Kelly has led on public safety, including reforming Minnesota’s laws to provide justice for sexual assault victims. Her bill to increase apprehension of carjackers was the first item agreed upon by the bipartisan Public Safety Conference Committee this year. Kelly works tirelessly on gun violence prevention policy to ensure people who should not have guns are unable to access them. 

Kelly has authored many other bills passed into law, including: a bill to assist schools in addressing student mental health needs; legislation to ensure schools are able to care for students with seizures; a bill to reduce paperwork for special education teachers; protections for victims of domestic violence; reforms led by the disability community to create a person-centered approach to services; a racial justice initiative that limits government from taking personal property; a bill that seeks to prevent DWIs with the use of evidence-based practices; and bond funding that helps reduce taxes for our local communities.

Keeping connected with constituents is Kelly’s top priority. In fact, multiple bills she authored are the result of issues constituents brought to her attention, including a bill to reduce the delay first responders face in determining who to notify after a life-threatening crash, a law to provide more options to people caring for family members with disabilities, and an initiative requiring streamlined investigations of sexual assaults occurring within the National Guard. Kelly also helps constituents solve problems by connecting them to the right resources or placing calls to agencies on their behalf.

Since she was first elected, Kelly has demonstrated that she listens, cares, and delivers!
