Sinema’s record shows that she’s not just talk when it comes to pursuing bipartisanship and representing the values of her relatively conservative state. For example, she was 1 of 4 Democrats who voted against the Green New Deal rather than abstaining as the other Democrats did in the bill’s 57 against to zero in favor defeat.
She has also voted to confirm approximately half of Trump’s judicial nominees from the past six months — far more than can be said for almost any other Democrat. As early as February, her voting record on judges drew direct criticism from Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.
Sinema has also expressed support for Israel. While in the House, she supported the U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act in 2014, and two months ago, she condemned the Palestinian rocket attacks against Israel.
Additionally, Sinema recently sided with many Republicans to streamline the deportation of illegal immigrants who do not have valid asylum claims.
