Dem consultants angry about raising money for Kyrsten Sinema: "feel sick about it tbh"
Staffers at a Democratic consulting firm working for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., campaign are protesting their affiliation with the senator because they view her as the "antithesis" of the firm's progressive values, according to Politico.
Sinema's re-election campaign has paid nearly $500,000 to Authentic, a digital consulting and fundraising firm that has also worked on Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris' presidential campaigns and for other prominent Democrats like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey. But the firm's employees have increasingly complained in internal messages that their work for Sinema, who has blocked progress on top Democratic priorities like voting rights and a $15 minimum wage, could undermine their mission.
"I am doing the devils work," one Authentic employee complained about the firm's work for Sinema in internal union messages reviewed by Politico.
"I feel sick about it tbh," another employee responded.
