Sinema’s fundraising casts doubt on reelection plans ahead of critical deadline

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-AZ) fundraising plummeted to its lowest level in years during the fourth quarter, a signal for many that the Arizona Independent may not be pursuing a critical deadline to gather tens of thousands of signatures to appear on the ballot.

Sinema left the Democratic Party a little over a year ago to become an Independent. She still has not officially decided whether she is running for another term, which could turn into a three-way race with progressive Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), the likely Democratic nominee, and Kari Lake, who is the front-running Republican candidate for the United States Senate.
