June 29, 2026

COLUMBUS, OH - Today, the Ohio Democratic Party announced that U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) will be joining Democratic leaders up and down the ballot for Ohio Democrats' annual dinner on August 1. This year's dinner will be themed, "Ohio on the Rise," and feature Sherrod Brown and Dr. Amy Acton in addition to state and local leaders from throughout Ohio.

"Ohio Democrats are proud to welcome Sen. Mark Kelly to our Ohio on the Rise Annual Dinner," said Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde. "From serving our country in uniform to commanding missions in space, Sen. Kelly has dedicated his life to service and leadership. He understands that families are looking for leaders who will lower costs, protect freedoms, and deliver results. We're honored to have him join us as we continue bringing together Ohioans of all political backgrounds behind our Democratic ticket. Together, we have a clear trajectory toward victory in November."

"It's great to be joining Ohio Democrats ahead of such a critical election, and to be supporting strong candidates like Sherrod Brown and leaders up and down the ballot who are laser-focused on lowering costs as many Ohio families - and families throughout the country - are struggling to make ends meet," said Senator Mark Kelly. "At a time when we're seeing Washington Republicans and this Administration raising costs at every turn and attacking our freedoms, Ohioans are ready to send a message in November by electing Democratic leaders to help turn Ohio and our country around."

Additional information will be made available ahead of the Ohio on the Rise dinner in Columbus.
