This week is Sunshine Week, a nationwide movement to push for increased transparency, access, and accountability in government. There are few elected officials who embody that commitment to transparency and accountability more than Senator Mark Kelly.
Senator Kelly is one of the few members of the Senate who publishes his official Senate schedule every week, so all Arizonans know who he’s meeting with and how he’s fighting to help them. He wants every member of Congress to have that level of transparency and accountability, which is why he introduced a bill that would require every member of Congress to also publicly publish their schedules.
Senator Kelly’s leadership on making Washington more accountable to the people doesn’t stop there. He’s introduced a bill to ban corporate PACs, so wealthy corporations can no longer buy politicians, co-wrote a bill to prevent members of Congress from trading stock, so Washington politicians can’t line their pockets off insider information, and has never taken a single cent from corporate PACs, ensuring the only people he is accountable to are the hard-working Arizonans who elected him.
