Kyrsten Sinema gave $9,000 to man she's accused of having an affair with [View all]

A man identified in court filings as having an affair with former senator Kyrsten Sinema received almost $9,000 from Sinema’s former campaign committee in October, according to newly filed documents. The filings come just weeks after the man’s 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.
