 A well-known Butler County car dealer and former Butler city councilman has announced that he will enter the race for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District. 61-year-old George J. "Mike" Kelly, Jr., announced today that he will seek the GOP nomination in the May primary to square off against Democrat incumbent Kathy Dahlkemper in the fall general election. In a statement, Kelly said he decided to run because the U.S. is moving further and further away from the values and concerns of everday people. He added that the daily happenings in the news is evidence that what he called the "leftward tilt" is hurting families. Kelly graduated from Butler High School and the University of Notre Dame, where he attended on a football scholarship. He currently serves on the boards of the Butler County Housing Authority, Community Development Corporation of Butler County, the Redevelopment Authority of Butler County, and the Redevelopment Authority for the city of Butler. He's also the second-generation owner of Mike Kelly Chevrolet-Cadillac-Kia-Hyundai, located on Route 8 just south of Butler. Kelly is married and resides in Butler with his wife Victoria. He has four children and three grandchildren.
