Today, the Replace Sinema PAC issued the following statement in response to No Labels, a dark money front group for Wall Street and GOP billionaires, having qualified for ballot access in Arizona, and rumors this is to support a Sinema campaign:
“In the same way that a No Labels presidential candidate would threaten President Biden’s reelection, a No Labels Senate ticket would threaten Democrats holding the Senate seat in Arizona. It’s no surprise Kyrsten Sinema’s corporate donors may be bankrolling her campaign, given her history of securing billion dollar tax breaks for Wall Street, voting against raising the minimum wage, and refusing to eliminate student debt. But even with the millions in dark money from No Labels corporate interests, Sinema has no path to reelection – she is a spoiler and nothing more. That’s why our PAC is doing everything we can to make sure Arizonans know what’s at stake.” – Sacha Haworth, spokesperson for Replace Sinema PAC.
Kyrsten Sinema is a fan favorite at No Labels. Between the No Labels PAC, its board members, and its known donors (and their spouses), Sinema has received over $100,000 in donations.
Sinema was a member of the No Labels Problem Solvers caucus, and her work to undermine President Biden’s legislative agenda led to much praise from the group:
- In 2021 No Labels sent an email to its donors, telling them to call Sinema to thank her for her “heroic” work on the bipartisan infrastructure deal after she helped derail a proposed tax hike on billionaires
- No Labels released multiple ads in support of Sinema:
No Labels has been quietly raising tens of millions of dollars to fund a third-party candidate for the 2024 Presidential ticket, calling their efforts “an insurance policy” for Americans. They’ve already gathered nearly 150,000 signatures and have over $46 million raised or pledged.
No Labels prides itself on “donor confidentiality” as that’s “what’s best for democracy.” But previous records show their well-known donors to be some of the most prominent executives from Fortune 500 Companies and leading financial-services firms. They also tried to recruit David Koch, billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer, as well As “top supporters” of Trump, including PayPal founder Peter Thiel.
