In late April, the campaign committee of former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema made an odd expenditure, even by contemporary political standards: It dropped $352 at a self-described “naturally based wellness provider” that provides chiropractic, massage and “shockwave therapy” services from a shopping center in Cave Creek, Arizona.
The expenditure at Healthy Images wasn’t for Sinema herself. Rather, it funded “health services” for a member or members of the former senator’s private security detail, which she’s continued to bankroll through her old campaign committee, according to new documents the former Arizona independent senator filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The health service payment is one among hundreds of transactions Sinema’s Senate campaign committee recently made on airplane tickets, meals, lodging and various security detail expenses, according to the FEC filing.
