Sinema has long aligned herself with the interests of private equity, hedge funds and venture capital, helping her net at least $1.5 million in campaign contributions since she was elected to the House a decade ago. But the $983,000 she has collected since last summer more than doubled what the industry donated to her during all of her preceding years in Congress combined, according to an Associated Press review of campaign finances disclosures.

The donations, which make Sinema one of the industry’s top beneficiaries in Congress, serve a reminder of the way that high-power lobbying campaigns can have dramatic implications for the way legislation is crafted. They also highlight a degree of political risk for Sinema, whose unapologetic defense of the industry’s favorable tax treatment is viewed by many in her party as indefensible.

“From their vantage point, it’s a million dollars very well spent,” said Dean Baker, a senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a liberal-leaning think tank. “It’s pretty rare you see this direct of a return on your investment. So I guess I would congratulate them.”

Sinema’s office declined to make her available for an interview. Hannah Hurley, a Sinema spokesperson, acknowledged the senator shares some of the industry’s views on taxation, but rebuffed any suggestion that the donations influenced her thinking.




This doesn't include direct donations to her campaign from Republicans, Corporations and other Republican interests. Arizona Dems want a Democrat in this chair, not a Republican. She won't be getting re-elected, so enjoy your ill-gotten gains while you can, Kyrsten. -- Suzianne

Isn’t the worst that will happen to her is to go through the revolving door and end up being a highly paid lobbyist?

Seems as of y'all are going with some loopy
GOP female for Gov....Is this true or
am I just watching FOX too much (sports)?

@Suzianne
My bet is she is not whacky but just spouting crap she thinks will win over the zombie vote. Of course even if elected she still has to ACT like she believes all her BS.
