Kyrsten Sinema in 2022 AZ Senate race

On Free Trade: Opposed trade with Malaysia: they imprison LGBT people

Based on her teaching experience, she has worked on legislation to provide additional protections to the victims of sexual violence on campus.

She has been mentioned as a potential challenger to Senator John McCain in 2016, which likely would be an uphill challenge. She has dismissed the possibility though she created the leadership PAC that would be a useful fundraising vehicle. She may have other opportunities for a statewide bid, which would draw national support from the LGBT community.

On Principles & Values: Took oath of office on Constitution, not Bible

In the House, Sinema took the oath of office on a copy on the Constitution, not the Bible. She said that she was not affiliated with a religion.

She has joined the organizations of moderate Democrats, occasionally has criticized Obama, and has worked across the aisle with House Republicans. She co-founded the United States Caucus, a bipartisan group of house freshmen working on solutions for both parties, "I'm just doing my thing," she told Roll Call in February 2015. "I know my thing's a little bit different than other people, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. And you know what? I don't mind if some people like it or don't like it. That's OK."
