Kyrsten Sinema Is Blowing Campaign Funds On Luxurious Living While Her Re-election Chances Diminish
There are mounting indications that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s days in the U.S. Senate are numbered. Her major challengers, Republican Kari Lake, and Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, are grossly out-fundraising her, and she appears less than eager to make the deadline for signature collection. The biggest indicator — beyond her apparent reluctance to announce her re-election bid — comes down to her recent spending habits.
Despite raising a paltry $595,00 in the last quarter, the former Green Party activist and critic of “seeing Washington bureaucrats use their hard-earned tax dollars for personal gain” has been rapidly blowing campaign funds on a luxurious lifestyle involving five-star European hotels, lavish getaways to coastal vineyards, and expensive vehicles.
The New York Post reported that Federal Election Commission filings show Sinema spent $796,565 between Oct. 1, 2023, and Dec. 31 on expenses such as luxury hotels, a brand new car, concert tickets and the security detail that follows her around on her adventures.
Sinema threw down $77,000 on a new Chevrolet described in paperwork as a “van,” even though she reportedly already bought a $70,000 “security detail vehicle” for herself two years ago. If she loses a re-election bid or doesn’t bother to even try, then she will still get to keep the vehicles, assuming they are licensed to her.
According to the Post, Sinema also spent over $3,000 on limos in London and Paris, ostensibly for personal use.
The Daily Beast indicated that Sinema has ignored her own longstanding criticism of “first class air travel,” having spent $210,000 in taxpayer funds on private chartered air travel since 2020.
Sinema reportedly stayed in July and October of last year at the five-star Le Roch Hotel & Spa in Paris, which cost her personal political action committee, the “Getting Stuff Done PAC,” $7,600. The PAC also fitted the bill for her $2,500 July stay at Madrid’s Edition Hotel, a “luxury lifestyle urban five-star resort,” reported the Beast.
Sinema’s PAC also paid the senator’s way through various wineries in California and Oregon…..
