AZ-SEN: Sinema left office but her campaign continues to spend lavishly

Kyrsten Sinema retired from the Senate more than six months ago, but the Arizona independent’s campaign account remains quite active.

The latest filing by her Sinema for Arizona committee shows disbursements totaling more than $391,000 from March 31 to June 30 on hotels, entry fees to airport lounges, in-flight WiFi, office supplies, restaurant meals and a host of other expenses. The account also documents spending at wineries and more than $71,000 on airfare.

Sinema is now in the private sector, serving as a senior adviser at global law and lobbying firm Hogan Lovells. She has not campaigned for office since March 2024, when she announced that she would not seek a second Senate term. A request for comment through her firm was not returned.

Among Sinema’s disclosures were more than $108,000 in security-related expenses, including more than $4,600 in ticket admissions for her security detail to events such as Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville, Ky., and the Ohana festival in Dana Point, Calif. She also reported $616 for “security detail ski tickets” in Aspen, Colo.

Con progressives, stay in office one term, and then join the private sector to leverage and cash in on your government “experience”.

It’s not a bad way to ensure you’re all set for life, and create a little generational wealth while you’re at it!
