Kevin J. Boyle

Kevin J. Boyle (born February 7, 1980) is an American politician who served as a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 172nd district from 2011 to 2024.

Much of his research was included in the "Reach Scholarship" bill that his brother, Rep. Brendan Boyle, and then-Rep. Tony Payton introduced in the House in 2009.

After graduating from Harvard, Boyle worked as an advocate for the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, the nation's second-largest association for family service organizations in Washington, D.C.[3] Boyle began his involvement in Philadelphia politics by serving as campaign manager for older brother Brendan's campaigns for the state legislature.

In 2007, Kevin became Legislative Director to City Councilman Bill Greenlee, a role Boyle held until 2010 when he stepped down from the job to run his own race for State Representative.

Boyle served as Philadelphia Councilman Bill Greenlee's legislative director for three years and helped write some of the city's most impactful new laws.

He also worked directly with Councilman Bill Greenlee on the ban prohibiting driving while operating a hand-held cell phone or other electronic devices.

More recently, Boyle's legislation to give emergency vehicle designation to Philadelphia Prison System Transport Units was signed into law by the governor.

In the 2019-2020 session, Boyle succeeded as House State Government Committee Chairperson in working across the aisle to pass much-needed election related reforms.

In a letter to constituents before the 2022 primary, Boyle attributed this incident to psychosis, which he believes was caused by an adverse reaction to the Adderall he takes to treat his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
