“Despite the current uncertainty, our primary goal still is ensuring a Republican does not win,” reads the email to donors from Senate Majority PAC.
For months, eager Democratic donors have pressed the chair of the party’s Senate campaign arm, Sen. Gary Peters , about the biggest question mark on the 2024 election map.
With Rep. Ruben Gallego locking up support among Arizona Democrats and briskly fundraising as the presumptive party nominee, some Democrats see no point to getting on Sinema’s bad side while she remains a key vote in the Senate., the polarizing MAGA star and failed 2022 governor candidate, is likely to run for the seat, and would immediately become the primary favorite over Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, the only declared Republican candidate so far.
“Democrats are playing a really dangerous game with sitting back and not engaging voters earlier,” said Luis Avila, a longtime progressive operative in Arizona who advises the Replace Sinema PAC, an outside effort that has been actively organizing to defeat Sinema since 2021. The Democratic donor who heard Peters’ statement of neutrality, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed hope that party brass could be swayed to take a more active role to ensure that Gallego wins.
“Grassroots Democrats understand what’s at stake and that’s why they’ve poured so many contributions into Galleg’'s campaign and our efforts,” said Sacha Haworth, a senior adviser for the Replace Sinema PAC. Haworth also noted the group is hosting a D.C. event this week that Rep. Dan Goldman will headline.
“I’d say she can’t do this,” said Chuck Coughlin, a veteran GOP operative and pollster in Arizona. “I don’t see the path unless she’s out there aggressively campaigning and raising money right now… A lot of things that should be happening aren’t happening.” In the same quarter, Sinema spent some $800,000, much of which went to travel expenses; one-fifth of the total was paid asMeanwhile, Gallego raised over $3 million over that same time period, much of it from small contributions channeled through the online fundraising platform ActBlue, which is likely to be a potent vein of small dollar contributions for him throughout the campaign.Of course, others in Arizona see plenty of indication Sinema is gearing up for a run.
In Arizona, signatures for campaigns can be collected using an online portal, but Sinema has not promoted the portal on any of her social media accounts, nor has her campaign spent any money on signature collection.
