Team, it's Mark.

I am suing the Secretary of Defense.

After 25 years in uniform and another 5 in the United States Senate, I never imagined I’d have to do something like this. Hegseth has left me no choice.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want to use the power of the White House and the Department of Defense to punish me because they don’t like what I have to say. Their attacks are directed at me right now, but they’re trying to send a message to every retired member of the military:

Speak out against us and we will come after you with every tool we have at our disposal. We’ll censure you, we’ll threaten your rank and retirement, and we might even court-martial you.

It’s unconstitutional, so I’m suing them. Beyond this lawsuit, it’s important we send a message to Trump and Hegseth to show them just how many people are on this team to defend constitutional rights. That’s where you come in.

I’ve been truly humbled by the support people have sent my way over the past couple of months. It means the world to me that so many of you care about what Trump and Hegseth are trying to do.

That’s how we’ve made it this far, and it’s how we’ll get to the other side of this chapter in our nation’s history. Together.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a stand and join the fight, this is it.

Please, if you can spare a quick donation, can I count on you to chip in a contribution, split between my campaign and Hold the Line?

If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Mark Kelly and Hold the Line will be processed immediately.

Thank you for supporting Hold the Line.

Our mission is clear: To champion the next generation of Democratic leadership to protect, defend, and hold the line against MAGA, anti-democracy Republicans.

But we’re 100% grassroots-funded, and we depend on supporters like you to help fuel our fight. If you'd like to donate to help fund our efforts, please click here:

DONATE TO HOLD THE LINE »

With Donald Trump and his Republicans in control of the White House, the Senate, and the U.S. House, the stakes could not be higher.

These MAGA extremists are dead set on attacking our values, our rights, and our freedom.

So it’s never been more important to Hold the Line and elect a wave of Democrats who will fight to defend our democracy.

But we rely on grassroots support to fuel our fight. Without you, we’re nothing. If you'd like to donate to help fund our efforts, please click here:
