After The Daily Beast revealed that Kyrsten Sinema was paying big money to Tulsi Gabbard's sister, it turns out that Sinema has continued footing those bills.
The revelation that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema had spent over $500,000 in campaign funds to a single security contractor—in February—prompted campaign finance watchdogs to warn the arrangement raised “red flags” that Sinema should publicly explain.
Notably, when The Daily Beast first reported on Sinema’s security expenses in February, her campaign was reporting itemized payments to TOA Group for travel-related expenses, which revealed the specific meals, hotels, and perks like in-flight internet that were underwritten by Sinema’s campaign. “Since [the initial Daily Beast] story, there’s been more spending and less transparency, and that is very concerning,” Fischer said. “Over the last two reporting cycles, fully 20 percent of Sinema’s campaign spending has gone to a single firm run by a close associate. I’ve never seen anything like that.”
Those factors, along with the eye-popping dollar amounts and lack of transparency in Sinema’s latest campaign finance filing, continue to underscore how abnormal the pattern of the senator’s spending on security is. The independent senator has yet to announce whether she will run for a second term in 2024, but she is continuing to raise money and run online ads touting her record. Though her Democratic challenger, Rep. Ruben Gallego , outraised her 2-to-1 in the second quarter, Sinema is sitting on $10 million in campaign funds, beating Gallego’s $3.7 million war chest.
