Growing up, this little boy learned that through hard work, he could do anything he set his mind to.
At the age of 23, he became a United States naval aviator. He deployed twice on the U.S.S. Midway and flew 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm.
Then, at the age of 32, he was selected as an astronaut (with his twin brother, Scott!). He flew his first of four missions into space in 2001 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour. He spent more than 50 days in space and has lived on the International Space Station.
In 2011, Mark's wife, Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in Tucson during an event where she was meeting with her constituents. Mark retired from the Navy and NASA, and his mission turned from service to his country to caring for his wife. But Gabby's service in Congress, using policy to improve people's lives, stuck with him.
So, in 2020, Mark took on his next mission — running for U.S. Senate in Arizona — and won.
Then, in 2022, he had to turn around and run for a full term in the Senate. And thanks to our incredible team, he won again.
Now, Mark’s in yet another important position. As Vice Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, it’s on Mark to find a way to defend every incumbent Democrat in the Senate. And, to win back our majority, he’s got to take four seats back from the GOP, too.
It’s a tall task. But if anybody can do it, it’s Mark — and he needs your help.
