December 2, 2022


Today, on the second anniversary of his swearing in to the United States Senate, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly released the following statement:

“Serving Arizonans in the Senate for the last two years has been the honor of my life. As I think about what we’ve accomplished so far – from creating good-paying manufacturing jobs and lowering prescription drug costs to our ongoing efforts to secure Arizona’s water future – I feel optimistic about the road ahead. We’ve got a lot left to do, and together with Republicans and Democrats I’ll continue working to make sure our state remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”
