Timeline

1950

Sinema was considered a key swing vote in the Senate, which was split 50–50 between Democrats and Republicans in the 117th U.S. Congress.

She is one of three independents in the Senate, the others being Bernie Sanders and Angus King, both of whom also caucus with the Democrats.

1976

Kyrsten Lea Sinema (born July 12, 1976) is an American politician and former social worker serving as the senior United States senator from Arizona, a seat she has held since 2019.

A former member of the Democratic Party, Sinema became an independent in December 2022.

Sinema was born in Tucson, Arizona, on July 12, 1976, to Marilyn (Wiley) and Dan Sinema.

Sinema has an older brother and younger sister.

Her father was an attorney.

Her parents divorced when she was a child, and her mother, who had custody of the children, remarried.

With her siblings, mother, and stepfather, Sinema moved to DeFuniak Springs, Florida, a small town in the Panhandle.

Sinema has said that when her stepfather lost his job and the bank foreclosed on their home, the family lived for three years in an abandoned gas station and that for two years they had no toilet or electricity while living there.

She later recalled: "My stepdad built a bunkbed for me and my sister. We separated our bunkbed from the kitchen with one of those big chalkboards on rollers. I knew that was weird. A chalkboard shouldn't be a wall. A kitchen should have running water."

According to journalist Jonathan Martin in The New York Times, Sinema has given "contradictory answers about her early life", and her mother and stepfather have filed court documents saying they had made monthly payments for gas, electricity, and phone bills, even though Sinema had said they had been "without running water or electricity".

Asked whether she had embellished details from her childhood, Sinema said, "I've shared what I remember from my childhood. I know what I lived through."

Sinema was raised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

While in the Green Party, Sinema was its local spokesperson, working to repeal the death penalty and organizing antiwar protests.

She had organized 15 antiwar rallies by the time the Iraq War began.

She also opposed the war in Afghanistan.
