Sen. Kyrsten Sinema pulls in cash from Wall Street,
real estate titans as she mulls reelection bid
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema raked in campaign cash from corporate leaders at the end of last year as she prepared for a potential high-stakes 2024 reelection bid in the battleground state of Arizona.
Sinema, a centrist swing vote in the narrowly split Senate, switched her party affiliation from Democrat to independent in December. Real estate and private equity leaders, who have long helped to fill Sinema’s campaign coffers, contributed to a healthy cash haul for the senator in the final months of last year.
Her latest FEC report is here. It shows that she was accepting payoffs contributions from the wealthy long before her appearance at the conference at Davos, well-known as a get-together for the ultra wealthy
Her behavior at Davos?

Sinema and Manchin high-five over supporting the filibuster at
World Economic Forum in Davos
That the United States held a free and fair election in 2022 is evidence that Kyrsten Sinema was right to support a rule that prevents most legislation from passing the Senate without a 60-vote supermajority, or so the newly independent senator from Arizona argued while speaking in Davos on Tuesday.
Sinema, a former Green Party activist turned centrist, left the Democratic Party following last year's vote. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, she attributed the move to her opposition to the two-party system and extremism on the left and right.
