Kennedy was unopposed in the 2020 election,[3] as well as the 2018 election and 2016 election. [4][5]

Kennedy won reelection in 2022 with a vote share of 64.4%.[6]

In January 2024, Kennedy co-sponsored S.B. 390, which would withhold government funding for any libraries in Georgia affiliated with the American Library Association. The bill was drafted following the election of ALA President Emily Drabinski and allegations of the organization promoting a personal ideology and influencing librarian certification.[7][8][9]
