Washington, D.C. – Mark Kelly is up to his old tricks again, saying one thing in Arizona while doing the opposite in D.C. In a recent interview Mark Kelly admitted that Yuma needs a border wall – despite the fact that he voted against a border wall three times this year.

Will Mark Kelly finally admit he regrets his efforts to fuel Arizona’s border crisis?
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Katharine Cooksey: “Mark Kelly is now meeting the consequences of his own actions. Kelly had every opportunity to address Arizona’s border crisis; instead, he voted three times in 2021 to defund construction of the border wall. He’s become what he campaigned against: a liberal politician who says one thing in Arizona but does the opposite when Democrat party leaders in Washington tell him to.”
