By a nearly 2:1 margin an overwhelming favorite emerged: Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona! With Kamala expected to name her running mate as early as next week, we wanted to hear whether you approve of the Senator and what parts of his experience you find the most compelling: [Do you approve of Sen. Mark Kelly?]( [Mark Kelly]( [APPROVE >>]( [DISAPPROVE >>]( [NEUTRAL >>]( Mark Kelly – who we were proud to organize an effort to draft him to run for Senate and become the first organization to endorse him when he decided to run – would check many critical boxes if he were selected as Kamala’s running mate. ☑️ Mark has a unique professional background: He’s an aerospace engineer, NASA astronaut, and Veteran with two decades of experience in the Navy. Then, after the tragic attempt on his wife’s life in a mass shooting, he became one of the most prominent figures in the nation working to address gun violence and successfully flipped Arizona’s Senate seat (the first time Arizona has been represented by two Democrats since the 1960s!). ☑️ Republicans are going to hammer Kamala on gun reform, the border, and the economy. Mark helps insulate her on all 3 fronts the way no one else in consideration does: Mark helped pass the first Federal gun violence prevention legislation in 30 years and spent a decade advocating for stronger gun safety laws in states across the nation (all while still being a responsible gun owner himself.) He was a key player in drafting the bipartisan immigration deal that would have secured our border and increased resources to expedite asylum requests and clear our clogged court system (Trump and J.D. Vance tanked this deal!). He was also one of the architects of the CHIPS and Science Act to create billions of dollars worth of new jobs and business to boost manufacturing and American self-sufficiency for semiconductor and computer chip production. ☑️ Mark won Arizona handedly twice. He is a battle-tested political veteran (and Veteran!) who knows how to talk to and win over not only swing voters but even Republicans! If Kamala can win Arizona she will deeply cut into Trump’s paths for victory and Mark would help deliver the state’s 11 electoral votes. [That’s why we wanted to hear from you today: Do you approve of Sen. Mark Kelly?]( [APPROVE >>]( [DISAPPROVE >>]( [NEUTRAL >>]( Thank you, 314 Action  314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government – from the Senate down to local school boards.
