This was a surprising discovery.
Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema may be out of Congress, but new records reveal she’s still living like royalty — on money meant for her campaign.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports obtained by The New York Post show that Sinema, who left office earlier this year, has continued to burn through campaign funds on luxury travel, high-end beauty treatments, and expensive “donor gifts.”
💄 Makeup, Image Consulting, and Vanity Spending
Even after leaving office, Sinema paid $800 for makeup sessions in Arizona — $400 to one photography and makeup business, and another $400 to an “image consultant.”
Campaign finance expert Brett Kappel told The Post these kinds of payments likely violate federal law, since using campaign cash for personal expenses is strictly forbidden.
“You can’t use donor money to buy makeup or pay for beauty services. It’s supposed to be illegal,” Kappel explained.
✈️ Luxury Travel and Hotel Escapes
The spending spree didn’t stop with makeup. Sinema’s campaign account covered:
- $9,579 on flights with American Airlines
- Lavish hotel stays in Aspen, Alaska, and Berlin, Germany
- Over $216,000 in travel costs in just three months
- A jaw-dropping $1,262 dinner at Nobu Tokyo, one of the most expensive restaurants in Japan
While ordinary Americans tighten their belts, Sinema appears to be living like an international celebrity — funded by political donors who believed their money was going toward public service, not personal luxury.
🍷 Wine Country Gifts and “Security Details”
Sinema’s campaign also spent $1,537 at a Sonoma winery for “donor gifts” and more than $17,000 on private security and housing — expenses that experts say don’t hold up for someone who’s no longer a candidate or in office.
“Security costs can be legitimate for sitting members of Congress,” Kappel said, “but not for private citizens. That’s not the same thing.”
⚖️ No Accountability From Washington Bureaucrats
Despite clear red flags, Sinema faces no consequences because the Federal Election Commission is currently crippled, lacking the quorum to investigate or enforce the law.
That means she can keep spending freely, with Washington insiders once again protecting their own while Americans are left footing the bill.
💰 Cash Out and Cash In
After abandoning the Democratic Party, Sinema chose not to seek re-election rather than face Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Ruben Gallego in 2024.
Since leaving office, she’s landed lucrative positions with Coinbase and Hogan Lovells, a major D.C. law and lobbying firm — proving how corruption in Washington always pays off for the elites.
🇺🇸 Trump’s Warning Comes True
President Donald Trump has long said the D.C. swamp protects its own, and Sinema’s spending is just one more example.
While hardworking Americans are struggling with inflation and rising costs, former politicians are living off donor dollars — with zero accountability.
