Kyrsten Sinema Still Spending Campaign Funds Lavishly

Source: Crooks and Liars
July 20, 2025

Like Donald Trump, Kyrsten Sinema has proven that the system now in place is there to be used by unscrupulous people, that the FEC is essentially irrelevant, and that politicians who just don't care how things look can use creative accounting to do whatever they damn well please. In the past three months alone she's spent nearly $400,000 on festivals, wineries and ski trips, among many other expenses that look like they're all for personal use.

--snip--
So how does she get away with this? Ostensibly, there are financial regulations in place by the FEC, but they're not strictly enforced. Politicians usually give the money they're unlikely to use to other candidates in their party, political action committees, or charities. Or they just hang on to it for a future run for political office. Kyrsten Sinema chose a different path, skirting the laws she knows will not be enforced.

Of course she was a fraud when she was in office.
