This source cluster preserves the minimum Sinema-side evidence needed to compare Kyrsten Sinema with Jessica Killin on donor overlap, employer clustering, campaign vendors, fundraising vehicles, post-office intermediaries, and financial-regulatory issue networks. It supports a bounded comparison result: there is some exact donor and donor-employer overlap, stronger shared donor-class overlap in finance / private equity / lobbying-adjacent professional circles, a real post-Senate crypto / regulatory advisory context for Sinema, and one source-grounded intermediary bridge through Steven Elmendorf / Avoq / Coinbase. It does not support a direct Killin-Sinema relationship, shared strategic campaign vendor, shared funding vehicle, shared PAC donor, or coordination claim.
The core source package is an OpenFEC pull under raw/datasets/openfec/killin-sinema-overlap-2026-04-24/. It resolves Sinema's Senate candidate ID and principal committee, pulls 2024-cycle candidate and committee totals, reports, Schedule A receipts, Schedule B disbursements, outside-spending aggregates, communication-cost aggregates, and electioneering aggregates. It also includes SINEMA LEADERSHIP FUND because OpenFEC identifies it as a Sinema-related joint fundraising committee.
The package includes derived comparison files that match the new Sinema data against the already-retained Killin donor and disbursement datasets. A separate source layer preserves Sinema's post-Senate Coinbase and Hogan Lovells roles plus the official Senate post-employment lobbying-restriction notice. A follow-up LDA source package checks the 11 exact shared donors, Coinbase filings, Hogan Lovells / Coinbase filings, Hogan Lovells digital-asset issue terms, and Sinema lobbyist-name searches.
