A man accused in legal proceedings by his estranged wife of having an affair with former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema received nearly $9,000 in October from Sinema’s old campaign committee, a new disclosure with the Federal Election Commission indicates.
Matthew J. Ammel, who has worked as a security guard for Sinema, received a “payroll” payment of $1,815.91 on Oct. 15 and a $7,136.14 payment on Oct. 31, according to Sinema for Arizona’s filing Saturday.
In all, Sinema for Arizona and Sinema’s separate political action committee paid Ammel more than $128,000 between July 2024 and October 2025, according to FEC spending records.
