Kerr was elected from Iowa House District 88, which includes all of Louisa County, most of Des Moines County, and northern and western Muscatine County.[3]

While in the Iowa legislature, Kerr has been behind budgets that do not increase funding for Iowa public universities. Kerr's 2022 budget proposal allocated nearly $20 million less than the state gave to public universities in 1999 (not adjusted for inflation). Kerr defended the budget as "very adequate" in 2021.[4]

Kerr decided not to seek reelection in 2022 to a fourth term.[3]
