Kelly takes under-the-radar approach in Arizona Senate race
By Tal Axelrod - 01/17/22 06:00 AM EST

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is relying on a tried-and-true strategy of raising boatloads of money while keeping his head down on hot-button issues in a bid to win his Senate race, a contest that is a lynchpin for both parties’ strategies to win control of the upper chamber.

Kelly hasn’t staked out firm positions on issues like filibuster reform and President Biden’s sprawling social and climate spending bill, keeping with a successful approach he employed when he first ran in 2020. But despite remaining vague on some of Democrats’ top issues, he still raised nearly $9 million in the final quarter of 2021 and started 2022 with more than $18.5 million in the bank, maintaining his reputation as a financial juggernaut.

The strategy’s shelf life is being thrown into question as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says he’ll force floor votes on Senate rules changes and some form of Biden’s Build Back Better plan, which would push Kelly to go on record. But the Arizonan is anticipated to stay the course for as long as he can.

“He's holding his water on some of those issues that could be troublesome,” said Arizona Democratic consultant Bill Scheel. “Sen. Kelly has not gotten either the attacks from the right or the skepticism from the left so far during the campaign, and that's certainly worked to his advantage.”

Mark Kelly is not an "Arizonan."  He's a "Houstonian."  He doesn't know Shineola about Arizonans.

How likely is he to be re-elected?

Not very, but who knows what the cheat will do.  I like Blake Masters for the Primary, he's up against another rich guy and AG Mark Brnovich.

Never underestimate a Republican's ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

A red state like Arizona needs to have at least one red Senator.

Otherwise, they are looking suspiciously like Louisiana used to look like

I instead call it misguided to be kind.

Am speaking more of having raving leftists in places of power, like Mary Landrieu, when the majority of citizens are decidedly conservative.
