The Arizona senator told HuffPost he would vote for the pro-labor legislation, voicing his commitment to unions as he's considered for the Democratic ticket.
I’m not sure a change in public position in order to get a big promotion is really going to give the unions the warm fuzzies. It’s better than not changing, but it sure feels like a “yeah sure, whatever” response rather than a newfound love of organized labor.
“Unions loom large in our life, and I’m supportive of the PRO Act,” Kelly said, recounting how when his mother, a police officer, was injured, her union helped her recover.
Also, how’s he going to vote for legislation in the Senate if he’s VP? Unless Dems are willing to ditch the filibuster for this and let him exercise his ability to cast a tie breaker vote in a 50/50 situation this seems like evidence he’s planning to remain a Senator.

Good that his mother was helped to recover, but police unions are not generally considered part of organized labor.
