Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema continues using liberal platforms to fundraise for 2024 reelection campaign

Raw Story  

This article originally appeared in OpenSecrets. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced her departure from the Democratic Party last December, but the first-term U.S. senator still uses platforms typically utilized by Democrats and progressives to raise money for her 2024 reelection campaign, which has yet to be formally announced. The joint fundraising committee’s donation page explicitly states that funds will go in part to Sinema’s 2024 reelection, OpenSecrets found, even though the senator has not officially announced her candidacy. Senate race landscape still sparse Rep. Ruben Gallego is the only prominent Democrat to announce his bid for Sinema’s U.S. Senate seat so far. The Cook Political Report rates the Arizona Senate race a “toss up.” So far, Sinema has a significant cash advantage over Gallego, though Gallego raised more funds in the first quarter of 2023.

Sinema’s shift: ‘Prada socialist’ to corporate donor magnet

Associated Press
