After graduating, Kelly worked as a national judicial education program associate for the National Organization for Women Legal Defense and Education Fund.

She also worked as a producer for PBS' To The Contrary, a weekly news program, from 2002 to 2005, before becoming the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland.

She is a member of the Maryland Senate from District 16, and was previously a member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing District 16 from 2011 to 2023, which is located in Montgomery County.

Kelly was born in Bethesda, Maryland.

She is the granddaughter of Maryland fire safety pioneer Francis Brannigan.

Kelly was sworn into the Maryland House of Delegates on January 12, 2011.

In December 2022, Governor-elect Wes Moore nominated state senator Susan C. Lee to serve as the Maryland Secretary of State.

Kelly filed to fill the vacancy left by Lee in the Maryland Senate in January 2023.

During her 2023 Senate appointment, it was alleged that she called one of the other candidates and harassed him for submitting his nomination for the appointment.

Kelly denied the allegations.

The Montgomery County Central Committee Chair indicated that the allegations were outside their purview for addressing.

Kelly won the nomination by a vote of 24–0 with one abstention.

She was sworn in on February 27, 2023.

Maryland Matters has described Kelly as a "leading abortion rights supporter in the legislature".

2013

In 2013, Kelly voted in favor of a bill that would raise gas taxes in Maryland to fund the state's various mass transit projects.

2016

During the 2016 legislative session, Kelly introduced the Contraceptive Equity Act, a bill that would require insurance companies to cover over-the-counter emergency contraceptives at no extra cost.

The bill passed and was signed into law by Governor Larry Hogan in May 2016.

During the 2016 and 2020 legislative sessions, Kelly introduced legislation to provide Maryland workers with up to 12 weeks of paid family leave, funded by a payroll tax shared equally by the worker and employer.

In 2022, she introduced a bill that would provide paid family leave to all part- and full-time employees who have worked 680 hours in the past year.

2018

In February 2018, Kelly, then the president of the Women's Caucus of Maryland, released a set of policy recommendations on preventing sexual harassment in the Maryland General Assembly.

These recommendations were accompanied by a report detailing anonymous accounts of sexual harassment in the Maryland General Assembly.

Kelly also introduced a bill aimed at implementing these policy recommendations, which was passed and signed into law by Governor Larry Hogan.

During the 2018 legislative session, Kelly introduced a bill that would include the topic of "consent" in sex education classes.

The bill passed and became law.

In September 2018, after Cheryl Glenn was elected to lead the Baltimore City Delegation, Kelly accused Glenn of blocking her efforts to assist one of Curt Anderson's alleged sexual misconduct victims and of denigrating other Anderson accusers.

Glenn did not comment on these accusations.

2019

In 2019, NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland, which supports abortion, gave Kelly a 100% score.

Maryland Right to Life, which opposes abortion, gave Kelly a 6% score during her third term in the Maryland House of Delegates.

Kelly supported efforts led by House of Delegates Speakers Michael E. Busch and Adrienne A. Jones to codify the right to abortion access in the Maryland State Constitution, and said in September 2021 that the "time is right for the legislature to pass more progressive policies" on abortion following the passage of the Texas Heartbeat Act, which banned abortions in Texas after the detection of embryonic or fetal cardiac activity.

In January 2019, Kelly was one of nine Maryland lawmakers to add their names to a manifesto signed by 326 state legislators to reaffirm their commitment to protecting abortion rights.

During the 2022 legislative session, Kelly introduced a package of bills to ensure abortion access and affordability in Maryland, including the Abortion Care Access to Insurance Act and the Abortion Care Access Act.

The Abortion Care Access Act was passed by the Maryland General Assembly and vetoed by Governor Larry Hogan, but it became law after the Maryland General Assembly overrode Hogan's veto.

In May 2022, following the leak of a draft majority opinion for the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Kelly joined 82 other legislators in signing a letter pushing Hogan to release $3.5 million in funding to support the implementation of the Abortion Care Access Act.

In June 2022, following the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs, Kelly said that the end of Roe v. Wade made strong laws on the state level "even more necessary".

During the 2023 legislative session, Kelly introduced legislation that would require public colleges to have a plan for student access to birth control, including contraception and abortion pills.

In November 2023, Kelly and eight other state senators signed a joint letter that threatened to defund immigrants rights group CASA de Maryland because it had called for an immediate ceasefire in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war and condemned the "utilization of US tax dollars to promote the ongoing violence."

During the 2019 legislative session, Kelly introduced a bill to expand eligibility requirements for the state's child care tax credits.
