Mark Kelly has served his country as a U.S. Navy combat pilot, a NASA astronaut, and now as a U.S. Senator for Arizona. He is an independent leader who came to the Senate to serve Arizona’s working families, not corporate special interests.

As the son of police officers, he learned the value of public service from a young age. Senator Kelly earned degrees in marine engineering and aeronautical engineering. In his military career, he flew combat missions and received several awards. He went on to become an astronaut, completing four space missions and spending over 50 days in space.

Senator Kelly retired from NASA and took on the role of Senator, where he has been instrumental in pandemic relief efforts and infrastructure development. He is committed to fighting corruption and promoting transparency in government. Senator Kelly has worked across party lines to boost job creation, lower taxes, and reduce costs for Arizonans. He serves on various committees and is an advocate for national defense.

Senator Kelly is married to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and they live in Tucson. Senator Kelly has two daughters: Claire, a graduate of Arizona State University, and Claudia, who lives in Tucson and is a student at the University of Arizona. His favorite hobbies include spending time with family (especially his baby granddaughter Sage!), going to the gym, riding his bike around Tucson with Gabby, hiking, and exploring Arizona’s outdoors.

Luke Wenz serves as Deputy National Outreach Director, Western Region for the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), a broad-based bipartisan coalition of over 500 businesses and NGOs that advocates for strong U.S. global leadership through development and diplomacy, alongside defense.
