A man identified in court filings as having an affair with former senator Kyrsten Sinema received almost $9,000 from Sinemas former campaign committee in October, according to newly filed documents. The filings come just weeks after the mans estranged wife accused Sinema of wrecking their marriage.
According to a report from Notus, which cites a newly filed Federal Election Commission (FEC) document, the recipient was Matthew J Ammel, who worked as a security guard for Sinema. He was paid $1,815.91 on 15 October and $7,136.14 on 31 October in payments listed as payroll, according to a filing submitted on Saturday by Sinema for Arizona.
FEC records show that between July 2024 and October 2025, Ammel received a total of more than $128,000 from Sinema for Arizona and a separate political action committee tied to the former senator.
The filing also shows that Sinema has formally shut down her Sinema for Arizona committee, which spent hundreds of thousands of dollars last year on expenses that appeared to be largely unrelated to campaign activity.

Unless there was fraud involved, using her campaign and PAC funds this way is not against the law.

(22,393 posts)Worst case scenario, she has to pay the funds back (which she can do from her PAC, which has no such restrictions).
Most likely scenario is absolutely nothing happens.
