Sen. Mark Kelly's campaign on Friday kicked off "Republicans for Kelly," a group of approximately 50 Republicans and independents who are supporting the Arizona Democrat's reelection bid.
The list, designed to demonstrate Kelly's crossover appeal in Arizona, a newly purple state, includes business executives, past and present politicians and people in a variety of sectors across Arizona.
Members include Paul Charlton, a former U.S. attorney under President George W. Bush; David McIntyre, president and CEO of TriWest Healthcare Alliance; plus five and 13 current and former state legislators and mayors respectively.
The group pointed to Kelly's accomplishments such as the bipartisan infrastructure law that Kelly was instrumental in passing. They also said he helped secure funding for the border and helped to advance microchip production.
