Proudly served Arizona's 8th District in the United States Congress 2007-2012. Co-founded GIFFORDS. Aphasia advocate. Married to Senator Mark Kelly.
My favorite day of the year ♥️🚴🌵

After I got shot, I never could have imagined getting back on my bike and racing through my beautiful hometown. El Tour de Tucson will always hold a special place in my heart.

32 miles has nothing on us!

We need champions in Congress who will fight for the American people and take meaningful action to save lives. These candidates have the strength and clarity to do that and will help us build a safer future for all.

I’m proud to support them in their critical elections.
We’re proud to support this strong slate of gun safety candidates running to flip key battleground House districts next fall.

Each of these leaders has what it takes to win and help secure a gun safety majority that will put public safety ahead of politics.

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives stolen from us in violent acts of hate and bigotry.

At least 27 trans people were killed this year according to @transequality.bsky.social, and many of them died by gun violence. America’s gun violence epidemic is fueling this crisis.

Three years ago today, a night of dancing turned tragic when a gunman opened fire at Club Q in a targeted attack against the LGBTQ+ community.

Five beautiful lives were stolen, more than 20 were injured, and an entire community was forever changed.
Today marks three years since five people were killed and 25 others were injured in a hate-fueled attack against the LGBTQ+ community at Club Q in Colorado.

Today and always, we honor the victims and survivors with action as we work to disarm hate and build a safer future for all.

Gun violence affects people everywhere.

I was glad to join @iowademocrats.bsky.social and Chair Rita Hart to honor her nephew Tucker and work to build a safer world for all of us.

18 years and forever to go!

Happy anniversary, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. I love you more each day.

It was an honor to speak at last night’s @iowademocrats.bsky.social’s Liberty & Justice celebration.

We’re at a crossroads. America needs all of us to speak out. It’s all at stake: safer communities, the health care families depend on, and our democracy. Iowa is energized and ready to get to work.

My friend @pelosi.house.gov has served our country with grit, courage, and integrity.

She stood with me after I was shot and she stood up for our country when the stakes were highest. Her leadership has been unmatched, and America is stronger because of her.

Gun safety wins elections. Last night’s overwhelming victories proved exactly that.

We’re proud to have supported so many fierce gun safety champions on the campaign trail who won important races last night. With their leadership, we know a safer future is possible.

What a huge victory for public safety in Virginia 👏👏👏

Congratulations to every gun safety champion who held and flipped important seats to regain this gun safety majority. Now it’s time to get to work and pass the laws we know save lives and fight crime.
Virginians have once again established a gun safety stronghold across the commonwealth! With the wins in the House of Delegates and the election of gun safety champion Governor-elect Spanberger, a safer future is finally within reach.

Red flag laws save lives. We’re glad to see this ballot measure pass tonight, two years after a shooter killed 18 people & injured 13 others in Lewiston.

Now, Mainers will have another tool to keep their loved ones who are a danger to themselves or others from accessing a gun in a time of crisis.

Thrilled to congratulate @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on her victory as New Jersey’s governor!

From serving her state to standing up for commonsense solutions to gun violence, Mikie’s leadership inspires hope. I can’t wait to see all she will do for the people of New Jersey. 💙
Congratulations to the next governor of New Jersey, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, on your major victory!

Governor-elect Sherrill is a true public servant who has always fought for her community. We look forward to continuing to work with her to protect & expand NJ's lifesaving gun safety laws.

Congratulations to my friend @abigailspanberger.com on her historic victory as Virginia’s first female governor.

Abigail’s courage, integrity, and compassion have always inspired me. I know she’ll continue to lead with heart and fight for safer, stronger communities across Virginia.
Congrats Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com on your decisive win! Virginians made it clear that they are sick & tired of gun safety bills being blocked by Governor Youngkin. They demanded change at the ballot box, & now will finally have a governor who puts public safety ahead of partisanship.

@gabbygiffords.bsky.social and I know a thing or two about winning tough elections, and that’s what we have on our hands in Virginia. Nothing is guaranteed, so we need to do everything we can to run through the tape tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up to get out the vote!

Mark and I are proud to be in Virginia today with volunteers giving it their all to elect @abigailspanberger.com.

With just one day to go, make sure you have your plan to vote for leaders who will fight for a safer Virginia for all. Let’s get it done!

Seven years later and my heart continues to ache for the 11 people killed and 6 others injured at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. They were shot as they prayed for no other reason than because they were Jewish.

May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today, I joined Gov. Tim Walz and hundreds of Minnesotans in Waconia for a town hall on preventing gun violence. After the shootings this summer, the governor and state legislative leaders proposed important reform to save lives. We must pass that package, now.

Today, I’m thinking of Lewiston, Maine, where two years ago, a night of bowling, corn hole, and catching up with neighbors turned deadly because a dangerous person had a gun. Eighteen people were killed, 13 others were wounded, and an entire community was irrevocably changed.
Two years ago today, 18 people were killed in a shooting rampage at a local bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, Maine. Thirteen others were injured in the attacks.

Today and always, our hearts are with the victims, survivors, their families, and the entire Lewiston community.

I remember what it meant to finally leave the hospital—the relief mixed with uncertainty about what comes next. I’m so grateful Sophia has reached this milestone and I’m praying for her and her family as they continue their recovery journey.

Sending so much love your way, Sophia ♥️

Over 700,000 southern Arizonans still don’t have representation in Congress, more than three weeks after we elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Democracy means honoring the will of the people. Speaker Johnson must do the right thing and swear her in so she can get to work.

Joining @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on the campaign today reminded me why we fight these battles. She's dedicated her entire career to service and is the exact leader New Jersey families need in Trenton to fight crime and expand gun safety laws.

A vote for Mikie is a vote for public safety.

The volunteers I met today across the Garden State are ready to elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as New Jersey’s next governor!
