A note from Mark:

Arizona seniors know firsthand the challenges we are facing. They know what it’s like to face discrimination for health insurance because of a pre-existing condition. They’ve paid a lifetime into earned benefits like Social Security and Medicare, only to be told time and time again that these programs may not be there when they need them most. Seniors have suffered as a result of skyrocketing prescription drug costs and need affordable health care. And now, the pandemic is hitting seniors hard. I’ll always have the back of Arizona seniors, and I’m proud to have so many of them on this mission. — Mark Kelly

What Arizona Seniors are saying about Mark:

“Mark Kelly gets it. Mark will be our Senator, regardless if we are Republican or Democrat. Mark wants to protect Social Security, address the ever-escalating costs of prescriptions for all Arizonans, and fight to protect people with preexisting conditions from losing their health coverage. As a mother of a cancer survivor, my adult son has encountered first hand not only the costs of fighting cancer but the aftermath of the stigma of a pre-existing condition.” — Connie Vaughan, Pima County

“To maintain Social Security and Medicare, we need to vote for and elect leaders who will protect and listen to us. In the U.S. Senate election, the only candidate promising to fight to protect Social Security and Medicare is Mark Kelly. Mark is speaking with residents of Southern Arizona — he is listening to our problems.” — Ana Robles, Yuma County

“As divided as our country and our state is at this point in our history, it is important for us seniors and veterans to pursue a course that will ensure the future of our democracy and help our younger generations be able to pursue their dreams.” — Randall Hensley, Apache County

“Mark Kelly understands the needs of the seniors in the state, the struggles that educators have with a limited budget, and the lack of health care for those who have lost their jobs. I truly believe Mark’s dedication is for all Arizonans.” — Margie Goulden, Coconino County

“Seniors should not have to ever face the fear of Social Security benefits going away after a lifetime of contribution, nor should we have to face the terror of not being able to pay for life-saving medication. That’s why I am voting for Mark Kelly.” — Susan E. Sanders, Pinal County

“Mark Kelly’s dedication to promoting the needs of Seniors is unsurpassed by anyone. We know that Seniors and our Families will be well served when he is in the US Senate. We are certain that we can rely on him to keep his pledges to the citizens of Arizona, and that he will put people before politics.” — Roman Ulman, AFSCME Arizona Retiree Chapter 97 President

“I’m supporting Mark Kelly for United States Senator because he has shown support for the working class and their families. I also believe it important not to accept money from corporate PACs. I truly believe he will carry through with his campaign promises.” — Mark Driscoll, Mohave County

“The members of Arizona Education Association-Retired are confident that Mark Kelly has our best interests as a priority and holds our same core values of protecting the retirement we paid for doing our entire careers. Strengthening Social Security and Medicare helps to ensure a retirement lived with dignity after spending our careers helping generations to access their American Dreams.” — Julie Horwin, AEA-Retired Past-President

“In the race for Senate, there’s no comparison. Mark believes in facts, data, and science and that’s why I’m voting for Mark Kelly.” — Patty Hahn-Carlson, Santa Cruz County

“I am a senior married to a Vietnam veteran. I don’t trust Martha McSally to make good, independent decisions that would protect benefits that we have paid for all of our adult life.” — Robin Snyder, Yavapai County

“We need a Senator who will fight for Arizona. Integrity, courage and compassion — this is Mark Kelly.” — Priscilla Mendoza, Pima County

“I believe in Mark Kelly. He has served his country and gone into space. His wife has served her country. I believe he will make an excellent, fair-minded, Senator — one who will work for his constituents, rather than for his own benefit.” — Alice LeTourneau, Cochise County

“I believe Mark Kelly is the best candidate to represent Arizona and will work toward reducing drug prices and protecting Social Security.” — Lee Buist, Pinal County

“I support Mark Kelly because he cares about me and will fight for the issues Arizonans care about: affordable healthcare, public education for our children, Medicare and Social Security solvency, and opportunities for working people and families.” — Holli Ploog, Yavapai County

“Mark is an ideal candidate for our state — a warrior, a team player, an engineer, a problem solver, a man of the west and a devoted family man. Bring it on!” — Greg Altschuh, Maricopa County
