"Kyrsten Sinema's Lavish Private Jet Expenses at Taxpayers' Expense"

Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona has spent approximately $210,000 of her U.S. Senate office budget on private charter flights for herself and her staff since 2020, raising questions about her prioritization of expenses. This spending, which far exceeds that of her home-state colleague, has drawn scrutiny for its impact on her office's budget and the optics of using taxpayer money for private travel.
