Supporting Arizona’s Veterans

Senator Kelly, a 25-year Navy combat veteran, is committed to supporting Arizona’s veterans. He has been a strong advocate for veterans in Washington, leading efforts to improve accountability and transparency at the VA and expand vaccine access for veterans.

Senator Kelly also was an original cosponsor of the bill that extended pandemic benefits for veteran students. He regularly receives feedback from his Veterans Advisory Group, made up of representatives from Arizona’s veterans service organizations, local veterans groups, and community organizations — representing different services and service eras.

Senator Kelly addresses the 2021 American Legion National Convention in Phoenix.

Our office is ready to assist veterans who need help navigating the VA. We’re able to help veterans access the federal benefits they’ve earned from their service, including pensions, life insurance, medical treatment, and educational benefits, as well as personnel records, replacement medals, and much more. We encourage Arizona veterans or their family who need help with any of these concerns to fill out this form or give us a call.
