Assessments
Official Senate roll-call evidence shows Mark Kelly voted Yea on April 15, 2026 on the motion to discharge S.J.Res. 138, a resolution of disapproval related to a proposed arms transfer to Israel. His own Senate statement the same day also said he would vote yes on the resolutions to stop the transfers. Because the promise was specifically to vote to block the transfers, not necessarily to secure final passage, the recorded Yea vote fulfills the claim during his current Senate term.
Multiple independent pieces of official evidence (Senate roll-call votes and public press statements) confirm that Mark Kelly voted 'yes' on resolutions of disapproval aimed at blocking U.S. arms transfers to Israel, specifically S.J.Res.138, on April 15, 2026. He also publicly announced his intention beforehand, matching the promise precisely. Although the resolutions failed, the promise was specifically to cast such votes, not to ensure their passage.
Official Senate roll-call (Vote 81, Apr 15, 2026) records Sen. Mark Kelly as 'Yea' on the Motion to Discharge S.J.Res.138 (a joint resolution of disapproval of a proposed arms transfer to Israel), and his press release/floor remarks show he publicly pledged to vote 'yes.' He therefore carried out the pledged vote. (The discharge motion was rejected and the resolution did not advance, but the candidate fulfilled the commitment to vote to block the transfer.)
Official Senate roll-call (Vote 81, April 15, 2026) records Sen. Mark Kelly as 'Yea' on the motion to discharge S.J.Res.138, and his April 15, 2026 press release records his floor statement pledging to vote yes. Those sources confirm he voted as pledged. (The discharge motion was rejected, but the promise was to cast a yes vote, which he did.)
Senator Kelly publicly stated on April 15, 2026 that he would vote yes on the joint resolutions of disapproval, and the official Senate roll-call (Vote 81, Apr 15, 2026) records him voting "Yea" on the motion to discharge S.J.Res.138 (a resolution of disapproval of a proposed arms transfer to Israel). Although the discharge motion was rejected and the resolution did not advance, the claim concerns his vote to block transfers by voting yes on resolutions of disapproval; he cast the pledged vote.
