Washington, D.C. – The Mark Kelly from 2021 would not recognize the Mark Kelly of today. Throughout 2021 Kelly repeatedly dodged questions about his support for abolishing the legislative filibuster while working under the radar to push through a radical, anti-Arizona agenda. With his name on the ballot this year, Kelly seems to have remembered he has a far-left voting record and is scrambling to erase it from the memory of Arizona voters.
2022 Mark Kelly Regrets Being the Co-Creator of the Biden Border Crisis
- In 2021, Kelly voted twice to send taxpayer-funded stimulus checks to illegal immigrants.
- In 2021, Kelly voted on three separate occasions to defund border security programs.
- In 2021, Kelly voted to fund sanctuary cities and voted against prioritizing the arrest of illegal immigrants charged with violent crimes.
- But in 2022, Kelly is sounding the alarm bells about the Biden Administration’s decision to end Title 42, pretending to suddenly care about the border crisis overwhelming Arizona border communities.
2022 Mark Kelly Wishes He Hadn’t Voted to Stifle the U.S. Energy Sector and Hike Gas Prices
- In 2021, Kelly voted three times against legislation to prohibit a ban on fracking.
- In 2021, Kelly voted four times against advancing the Keystone XL Pipeline, killing roughly 11,000 good-paying jobs in the process.
- In 2021, Kelly supported legislation to index the federal gas tax to inflation, which is at a nationwide-high in Phoenix.
- But in 2022 with gas prices at record-highs, Kelly teamed up with fellow vulnerable Senate Democrats to propose a gas tax holiday gimmick that was immediately and widely-panned by lawmakers and economists alike.
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Katharine Cooksey: “It would be easier to believe that 2022 Mark Kelly actually cares about helping struggling Arizona families if his 2021 voting record didn’t reveal the exact opposite. Since coming to D.C., Kelly’s actions have shown that he does not care about securing the border or lowering prices at the pump. Does Mark Kelly believe Arizona voters are stupid and won’t notice his blatant hypocrisy?”
