In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to my campaign, but first I wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Mark Kelly. I’m a retired Navy combat pilot, former space shuttle commander, and the husband of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Now, I’m running for the United States Senate here in Arizona to bring science, data, and facts back to Congress.

To be honest with you, I never expected to be here. Gabby was always the member of Congress in our family. She taught me how to use policy to improve people’s lives. She taught me that when we’re faced with challenges, we should fight harder — not give up.

This campaign is the most intimidating thing I’ve done since the first time I walked up to the space shuttle. But our country is facing big challenges right now, and Washington is broken. We need a leader who can push past the party politics and fix the problems facing Arizona families.

So, can you split a $10 donation between my campaign and Tina Smith’s campaign to help fuel our people-powered campaigns? It’s people like you who chip in that make this mission possible.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Mitch McConnell is spending millions of dollars to try to defeat me. But people like you have stepped up by chipping in $10 here, and $25 there. Together, we’ve built a campaign powered by you, and I’m proud of that.

Thank you for your support,

Mark Kelly
Candidate for U.S. Senate, Arizona
