A coalition of 14 groups in Arizona, organized by a PAC that aims to oust Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee on Wednesday, NOTUS has learned, asking them to look into Sinema’s use of public money for private plane travel.

Specifically, the groups want the committee to investigate Sinema for spending $210,000 of her office budget on private flights in the last three years, over half of which was spent last year.

The flight spending was first reported by the Daily Beast.
