Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly spent part of Labor Day weekend campaigning on the east coast, where he stumped for candidates Democrats hope will retake control of the U.S. Senate following the 2026 midterm election.
Kelly campaigned alongside North Carolina’s governor, Roy Cooper, the leading Democratic hopeful in the swing state’s Senate race.
He also participated in a veteran’s town hall in Raleigh, where he lamented the Trump administration’s cuts to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
“The actions that this administration has taken, firing employees of the veterans administration, the VA health care system, it just hurts veterans,” he said.
