$200k on private flights ✈️

Each Member of Congress is allotted an office budget, which we normally use to pay for staff who serve constituents, events like town halls, and commercial flights to get ourselves from our homestates to DC. [Katie Porter for Senate]( New reporting shows that Kyrsten Sinema spent more than $200,000 of taxpayer money on private flights. It isn’t standard practice for lawmakers to take private jets using government funds. Each Member of Congress is allotted an office budget, which we normally use to pay for staff who serve constituents, events like town halls, and commercial flights to get ourselves from our homestates to DC. This type of taxpayer dollar abuse is unacceptable. I’ve introduced legislation to boost accountability and inform the public about when, where, and how Members of Congress travel on the taxpayers’ dime. [Can you sign my petition to show your support for this bill?]( [Sign on: Transparency in Taxpayer-Funded Travel Act]( Stories like this fuel Americans' distrust in our government, and people are right to be concerned. Too many politicians allocate money to pet projects, take marching orders from corporations, and slip loopholes into bills on behalf of their biggest donors. I was shocked by the amount of legalized corruption I saw when I first got to Congress in 2019, and since then, I’ve made cleaning this place up one of my top priorities. Now, I’m the only person in this race who supports banning corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money, and doing away with earmarks—which lead to waste and fraud. I’m proud to run a people-powered campaign as we fight to clean up corruption and shake up the status quo. Anything you can give today will help me hold power to account.
