Senator Sinema will resign at the end of the year per press conference she posted on X.

On Saturday evening, Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler posted photos of Arizona Democratic Sen. Krysten Sinema on his public Facebook page, prompting a heated discussion in the comments section about the senator’s attire. Ziegler, a Republican in his second term as state auditor, posted the photos on his public “Jim Ziegler State Auditor” page, and shared it to his personal Facebook page. The photo caption: “What newly elected AZ democrat senator wore to work.” Some commenters made remarks comparing Sinema’s clothing to an exotic dancer or prostitute. Zeigler has not responded to those comments specifically. Other commenters expressed anger that...

Lotta bad vibes about this race. It wouldn’t surprise me if the GOP has a good night in the Senate next Tuesday with Arizona as the lone stark exception. Sinema, a Democratic congresswoman, gets support from 50 percent of likely voters, while McSally, a GOP congresswoman, gets 44 percent. A combined 6 percent are undecided or prefer someone else. In September’s NBC/Marist poll, Sinema’s lead over McSally was 3 points in this head-to-head contest, 48 percent to 45 percent… Forty-four percent of these voters say they have already cast their ballots, and Sinema receives support from 51 percent of them...

An Arizona union that represents state public safety employees withdrew its endorsement of U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema this week after its members said the executive board voted on the endorsement without their input. Sinema, a Democrat, is locked in a tight U.S. Senate race against U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, a Republican, for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. After members objected to the board's actions, the Arizona State Troopers Association polled its members in an email Monday, asking whether they wanted to endorse Sinema or stay neutral, the Arizona Republic reported. The poll indicated “the membership has...

Please get the word out, I am from Arizona and Kyrsten Sinema is a toxic insane Rat senate candidate. The national and local news media are covering up what a bad candidate she is. Here is a summary of things that she has said/done: —States are the laboratories of democracy, Arizona is a meth lab of democracy —Arizonans are crazy —Arizona is famous in a bad “Lindsey Lohan” way —Women who stay home to raise their children are “leeches” on their husbands and boyfriends, what they’re doing is not a “real career choice” —She has no problem with Americans joining...

The Communist Party USA is involved in campaigning on behalf of U.S. Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat from Arizona. According to Joelle Fishman, head of the Communist Party’s powerful Political Action Commission, the party has injected itself into races “in two states where a Republican seat can be flipped: AZ (Flake open), TX (Cruz).” During her term in the Arizona state legislature, for example, Sinema was a founder of the leftist Progressive Caucus. Sinema has helped lead numerous leftist national boards, including the Center for Progressive Leadership, Progressive States Network, and the Democratic Socialists of America-affiliated Progressive Democrats of...

U.S. Democratic Senate hopeful Kyrsten Sinema promoted events at Arizona State University featuring a lawyer convicted for aiding an Islamist terror organization and its leader. Sinema, a co-founder of the activist group Local to Global Justice, invited people in a now-closed Yahoo group to attend two events with Lynn Stewart, both in 2003. At the time of the invite, Stewart had been charged with helping her former client Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical Egyptian spiritual leader of a terror group, to pass on secret messages to his followers to commit terror attacks. In the first event’s invite, Sinema said the...

Republican activists on Thursday released a video of Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, a centrist Democrat now running for an open Arizona U.S. Senate seat, advising liberal activists how to "stop your state from becoming like Arizona." The surreptitious recording dates from 2011, after Arizona Republicans had passed SB1070, a controversial immigration law that led to nationwide boycotts and concern even among some Arizona Republicans that the Legislature had moved too far right. Those concerns led to a recall against the then-senate president Russell Pearce, whom Sinema blamed in her remarks for much of the discord. But the talk also contains unusually...

As Twitchy told you yesterday, video from 2011 is making the rounds showing Democrat Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema mocking her own state by calling it “crazy.” Now there’s another video taken at a Netroots Nation convention showing Sinema giving Arizona a new insulting state motto of sorts: New leaked footage further adds to @KyrstenSinema’s distaste for Arizona, calling it “the meth lab of Democracy.” #AZSEN

Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema's past ties to far-left groups are resurfacing as she campaigns to win Arizona's Senate race against her Republican opponent, Rep. Martha McSally. Sinema is running on her Congressional record as a hawk on military spending and defense, proclaiming in an ad she would do "whatever it takes" to keep America safe and boasting that she fought for "billions for military spending." But the Democratic congresswoman also has an extensive past as a progressive activist. Her events and associations in opposing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and her early years as a Democratic lawmaker in...

When I wrote about the Arizona Senate race earlier today and the nearly even polling we’ve seen thus far, I asked if there was anything that might help Martha McSally break through and establish a solid lead over Kyrsten Sinema. I wonder if this might be just the ticket. Some news about Sinema’s early history – something she’s campaigned on heavily and been questioned about before – has emerged in the past 24 hours. One big part of Sinema’s narrative is the three years she spent homeless as a child. It’s a heartwarming tale of a family grappling with adversity...
