Kelly originally represented the seventh district on the council. In 1987, he defeated Democratic incumbent Patricia Harris for the seat,[1] but he was defeated in his bid for reelection four years later by Daniel McElhatton.
Following the death of longtime Republican councilman Thacher Longstreth, Kelly was elected to his at-large seat and served from 2004 to 2012.[2]
