Rep. Ruben Gallego outraised Sen. Kyrsten Sinema by some measures after she quit the Democratic Party in December.
The year-end numbers for 2022 hint at the contrasting fundraising styles for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Rep. Ruben Gallego.In the last months of 2022, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s campaign added to her sizable cash advantage over rival Rep. Ruben Gallego’s, but his operation outraised hers in the days after she announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent.
Sinema’s campaign declined to comment about the latest reports. Gallego's noted that he raised more than $1 million in the first day after entering the Senate race and attacked Sinema as beholden to hedge-fund managers. Like all members of the House of Representatives, 2022 ended another election cycle for Gallego, which helped draw down funds throughout the year. Sinema hasn’t been on the ballot since the 2018 election.
Of those post-switch individual donations, Sinema collected $625 from Arizonans, while Gallego took in $8,365 from in-state residents.She collected at least $273,000 of from people employed by investors and money-management companies like Apollo Global Management, TPG and the Blackstone Group. She is a member of the Senate’s banking and finance committees.
After her announcement, Sinema took in nearly $54,000 in money from PACs other than her own leadership fund and from organizations that process individual contributions.One PAC gave to both of them in December: the one affiliated with the Air Line Pilots Association. That PAC gave Gallego’s campaign the $5,000 maximum on Dec. 16. It gave Sinema’s campaign $3,000 on Dec. 29 to reach $5,000 for the year.
Between Oct. 1 and the end of the year, less than 3% of Sinema’s donors gave less than $200, about $8,700 in all.While it is still unclear if Arizona will have a rare, three-way race in 2024, recent history suggests any candidates will have to bring far more cash to the table than either Sinema or Gallego already have.
