Signs have been piling up that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema might not run for another term, sparing us all a three-way Arizona Senate race in which her ego battled it out for supremacy against Democratic Rep.

    I suspect that, as the headline said, she’s grabbing what cash she can. Maybe she’ll be ousted in a few years, in the meantime she’s making 6-7 figures, and can retire comfortably with the 10 or so years of Congressional pay and corporate board pay. She gets her favors paid back with a nice little nest egg for her to disappear with.

      She has six years of pay at $174,000 per year, which is ok but isn’t something you can retire on in 10 years.

      Maybe she gets that in her post-Senate career, but I doubt it will be enough to fully retire on, especially with her inflated lifestyle.
