Kelly takes to the airwaves a week after Republican incumbent Martha McSally began airing her own ads attacking him as “too liberal for Arizona” and seeking to tie him to left-wing Democrats.
Kelly's commercial shows him wearing a black T-shirt and working on a motorcycle. He says he hopes Arizona can have an environment where anybody can accomplish anything they want if they work hard at it.
