Hey John, it’s Mark Kelly. My friend Elissa Slotkin is running for Senate in 2024, and we’re working to support her. I hope you’ll read the message below from her, and consider splitting a donation between her campaign and mine.

John —

I’m Elissa Slotkin, running for Senate in Michigan. And I have a few big things in common with Mark Kelly. But the biggest one? Service to country.

Mark and I both come from a service background. After being in New York on 9/11, I was recruited by the CIA and went on three tours in Iraq alongside the U.S. military. Mark joined the Navy after college before joining NASA and becoming an astronaut.

We may have taken different roads, but they both led us to carry on our service outside the military to elected office. And I think Congress could use more mission-focused people who have experience putting country before themselves.

But that’s not the only thing we have in common. As a former national security analyst, I bring a data-focused approach to my campaigns – and few people appreciate that data-nerd side of me more than Mark Kelly. And while there are roughly 1,905 miles between Lansing and Tucson, Mark Kelly and I are also some of National Republicans’ favorite people to go after in election years. And the Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange is considering running against me.

So here’s some data for you: Mitch McConnell and his allies spent MILLIONS on ads against Mark in his races in Arizona, and they’re already getting an early start on that same playbook here in Michigan. They just dropped their first ad launching attacks against me and our campaign hundreds of days out from the election.

So how do we fight back against these early attacks against our campaign? We get out our own message. Earlier and as often as possible.

In my competitive 2022 Congressional race, we spent $8 million on TV in 3 media markets. Which means in 2024 we’ll have to sadly spend much more than that to introduce myself and get my message out across the entire state. And to give you a sense of how much more, this time around we need to buy ad time in 11 media markets, almost 4x as many as our last race.

That’s where you come in, John. No one knows better how important this is than Mark and all of you who supported him through back-to-back elections. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today to ask:

Will you split a $3 donation between Mark Kelly and our campaign today? Early planning like this could be the difference between victory and defeat next November and I really appreciate you giving early.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:

Thank you for supporting Mark, myself, and our Democratic Majority!

Elissa
