John, Mark Kelly here. And in a minute or so, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to my campaign. If you have the time, give me a chance to explain why this request is especially important today.

Here’s the truth:

In 2020, we won what was arguably the most hotly contested Senate race in the entire country.

In 2022, we had to run again. We won an incredibly competitive race — and by an even bigger margin that time.

In 2024, I hit the road. I fundraised, gave speeches, advised, and supported as many candidates as I could. In a tough year for Democrats, we pulled out some important victories.

And now, in 2026, I’ve taken a formal position as Vice Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, where I strategize and fundraise for the Senate candidates we’ll need to take back the chamber.

I’m a firm believer that running strong campaigns makes a difference. I wouldn’t be in the Senate if we didn’t take every campaign seriously — and if I can help other candidates do the same, I have to. Maybe it’s the decades of Navy service in me, but I’ll always jump at the chance to make an impact.

But all this work, the travel, the town halls, the media, the staffing — it’s not free, believe it or not. There’s a significant cost. And while the first half of the year was an extremely strong period for fundraising, this second half has been significantly more difficult.

Honestly, we’re spending down resources faster than we’re replenishing them. And to turn that around, I need supporters who understand how important this work is to chip in what they can, when they can.

So, I’m asking you, humbly: Can you make a donation to my campaign? Help us keep up this nationwide mobilization, because investments now will pay huge electoral dividends when next November comes around.

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

I wouldn’t be asking you if this wasn’t important.

And, as always, I’m truly grateful for your support.

Mark
