Jack Kelly is an American politician. He is a former Republican member of the Philadelphia City Council. Kelly originally represented the seventh district on the council. In 1987, he defeated Democratic incumbent Patricia Hughes for the seat,[1] but he was defeated in his bid for reelection four years later by Daniel McElhatton.
