PAC trying to oust Sinema complains about her campaign trip expenses.

Political Group Accuses Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Misusing Campaign Funds for Luxury Lifestyle

Replace Sinema PAC Files Complaint with FEC

A political action committee called Replace Sinema has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) of misusing campaign funds to live a luxurious lifestyle at the expense of her constituents. The group alleges that Sinema used campaign donations to pay for expensive trips to places like London and Paris, as well as for lodging and food, and falsely reported those expenses as legitimate campaign expenses.

Living a Life of Luxury at the Expense of Arizona Families

The complaint states that Sinema has been living a lifestyle of luxury financed by her special interest donors, to the detriment of her constituents in Arizona. While Sinema is on international trips or pursuing her high-end wine hobby, Arizona families are struggling with an increased cost of living and a housing crisis partially fueled by the very same private equity firms that donate to Senator Sinema’s campaigns.

Unjustifiable Expenses

The group alleges that Sinema spent over $180,000 in campaign funds on luxury hotels and resorts, car services, charter flights, expensive restaurants, and visits to wineries. These expenses could not be justified as campaign-related, as they were far more expensive than what would be considered typical, and were made in locations that a candidate for the United States Senate from Arizona would not be reasonably likely to be called upon to visit for campaign purposes.

Response from Sinema

Sinema has denied the allegations, denouncing the complaint as a desperate opposition scheme. A spokesperson for the senator told AZCentral that there’s no standing here, and Kyrsten remains laser-focused on delivering lasting solutions to the challenges we face — including addressing our border crisis and ensuring Arizonans are protected from a national default.

What’s Next?

The FEC complaint requires a response from Sinema, but such matters could take months — or even years — before they are resolved. A spokesperson for the senator has not yet responded to a request for comment by the Washington Examiner.
