Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s dark money ties are once again putting President Joe Biden’s attempts to protect Americans at risk. Although she has yet to announce her vote on the President’s nomination to the Federal Communications Commission, Gigi Sohn, Sinema’s known ties to the telecom industry and its dark money are already calling into question whether or not she’ll act as a roadblock:

Notably, the aforementioned Kyrsten Sinema also sits on the committee. She took in nearly $450,000 in campaign donations from broadband-related industry players from 2017 through 2022, and was the only member of the Senate Democratic caucus not to co-sponsor legislation to restore net neutrality. Sinema was also reportedly linked to Comcast-directed dark money groups in 2019.
The Replace Sinema PAC created a petition telling Sen. Sinema to confirm Biden’s nominee–but we will have to wait and see whether or not Sinema’s dark money ties will prevail once again.
