Mark Kelly keeps cashing in on Trump’s ‘Seditious Six’ attacks
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) raised $13 million in the last three months and ended the first quarter of 2026 with a massive $22.3 million cash on hand in his campaign account, large sums for a candidate not up for reelection, his campaign told Blue Light News.
The haul is a sign President Donald Trump’s targeting of him as part of the so-called “Seditious Six” has continued to juice his grassroots donations. He raised $12.5 million last quarter too, much of it after Trump accused him and other Democratic military veterans of being traitors.
He’s not the only one to benefit: Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), who was also featured in the video, raised $928,000 since the beginning of the year, which his team said was his largest quarterly fundraising haul of his career, and comes even though this year he’s not a top GOP target.
Kelly’s big quarter is likely to only stir more speculation about his presidential ambitions. Kelly has increasingly flirted with a presidential campaign, saying he will “seriously consider” a 2028 bid.
Kelly is using his fundraising prowess to spread the wealth to other Democrats facing tough races this year — and who could be helpful allies if he runs for president.
He raised an additional $470,000 for his leadership PAC and $1.1 million for the DNC in 2026. In the first quarter, his campaign and leadership PAC transferred $105,000 to the DSCC and made direct contributions to six candidates, including James Talarico, Julianna Stratton and Mary Peltola. Kelly’s campaign said 98 percent of his donations to his campaign were under $100.
“Mark knows that flipping Congress in November is how we hold Trump accountable and that’s why he is campaigning in battleground states and supporting candidates with the resources to help them win tough elections,” Kelly spokesperson Jacob Peters told Blue Light News.
