Over the past three years, she has brought solar energy access to over 30,000 low-income households, saving each family at least 20% on their monthly electric bill, and co-authored Missouri’s environmental protection agency grant application, securing $156 million to establish its first-ever statewide solar program for 10,000 low-income families. Kelly is dedicated to equitable climate action to ensure that the transition to clean energy benefits those who are often left behind.
