Kemp served nine terms in Congress as a representative from New York and as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the George H.W. Bush administration. He is known as a leading advocate of supply-side economics, and co-sponsored the law that resulted in the 1981 tax cuts under President Ronald Reagan. Kemp was the first lawmaker to popularize "enterprise zones" to encourage development in underserved urban neighborhoods.
