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. Since he was sworn in, Mark has been focused every day on making Washington work for all Arizonans.

Now, Mark is up for re-election in 2022 and needs your help to keep fighting for us in the Senate. This is going to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. So please:
Can you make a $5 contribution, split between Mark and Gary Peters, before our critical fundraising deadline tonight? Mark can’t do this alone.
