Kelly Skidmore has 16 years of legislative experience in Tallahassee and has served as our State Representative since 2020. Kelly also previously represented Palm Beach County in the State House from 2006 to 2010 and worked as a legislative aide to Ron Klein for 10 years during his time in both the House and the Senate. In our State Capitol, Kelly is fighting hard to grow our economy, make healthcare more affordable, increase access to the ballot box and support legislative measures to combat gun violence. She’s also working to safeguard access to abortion and to bring the cost of property insurance under control.

​

Over the course of her three terms in the State House, Kelly has earned the respect of her colleagues as a tireless problem-solver who has successfully secured millions of dollars in funding for local projects. Whether addressing important issues such as cracking down on dangerous, out-of-control "pill mills" or vocally fighting back against the extremist Republican agenda, Kelly's principled leadership has done much to benefit our district and our state.

​

She’s running for re-election to continue to advocate for responsible solutions to the most pressing issues we face in Palm Beach County and across Florida. Kelly currently serves as the CEO of the Palm Beach County Medical Society and previously worked as a public relations specialist for the Marine Industries Association of South Florida. Since 1987, she and her husband Ray have lived in Boca Raton, where they raised their daughter Mary Alice.
