Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s campaign raised over $1.5 million toward the end of 2021 as she opposed key elements of her own party’s agenda, according to new FEC records.
Her separate leadership political action committee, which is called Getting Stuff Done PAC, raised over $470,000 in the second half of 2021, FEC records show. Peltz donated another $5,000 in December to the committee. George Roberts, the co-founder of investment juggernaut KKR and a prolific Republican donor, wrote a check for the same amount a month earlier.
Democratic megadonors also flooded her PAC's account, including Jonathan Gray, the president of private equity giant Blackstone, as did corporations. The committee received $5,000 from Fox Corp. PAC, the political action committee for Fox News' parent company. That donation came in October. The Fox PAC is financed by Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan. The elder Murdoch contributed $5,000 to the corporate committee in December.
The Sinema campaign told CNBC after publication that nearly 85% of contributions came from individuals and nearly 75% of contributions were less than $100. Though Sinema has said she backs the voting rights bills that came before the Senate, she and conservative Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted against an effort to change the filibuster rules to pass the elections plans without Republican support. Those votes effectively ended any chance to approve legislation that Democrats argue will boost access to the ballot box.
Manchin has also received a wave of support from wealthy financiers and corporations, including Langone. Manchin's campaign also previously saw contributions
