Dr. Kennedy served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and upon his return, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University. He then pursued his medical degree at Michigan State University, becoming a dedicated family physician. His passion for helping others led him back to Brigham Young University to pursue a law degree, driven by a desire to better advocate for his patients and ensure they received the best care possible.

Throughout his 31-year marriage to his wife, Katrina, Dr. Kennedy has raised eight children and now delights in his role as a grandfather to nine.

With a lifelong commitment to service, Congressman Kennedy has served in both the Utah House and Senate while maintaining his family medicine practice. He was sworn into the United States House of Representatives in January 2025, where he is focused on restoring fiscal responsibility, securing America's borders, and pushing back against federal overreach.
