Sen. Krysten Sinema , who left the Democratic Party and became an independent late last year, hauled in roughly $1.3 million in combined campaign and political action committee donations during the first quarter of 2023 through the powerful Democratic fundraising software ActBlue, records show.
"It strikes me as a bit of either hypocritical or ironic that she left the Democratic Party but continues to use one of the primary fundraising platforms for Democrats," Roy Herrera, a lawyer for Gallego's campaign, told the Washington Examiner."If she's truly extricating herself from the Democratic Party, then why hasn't she extricated herself from ActBlue?"
Still, tension has brewed between Sinema and the Democratic Party since she made her party switch. She told a cohort of Republican lobbyists this year that Democratic"lunches were ridiculous" in explaining why she no longer attends weekly meetings on Capitol Hill, a source told Politico. She also claimed the lunch is composed of"old dudes [who] are eating Jell-O" and"everyone is talking about how great they are," the outlet reported.
"If Sinema is bringing in big dollars from [ActBlue], it’s a testament to her marketability and electability," Kenney, a partner at Camelback Strategy Group, a firm with offices in Arizona, Texas, and Virginia, added.
