Sen. Kyrsten Sinema made a last-minute push in June to change training requirements for pilots.
At the same time, she received over $100,000 from the airline industry over the last three months.
But for the airline industry that's been pushing for that reduction, it was a sign that they had Sinema's ear.
Political action committees and airline executives gave over $100,000 to Sinema's campaign from April to June, according to recently-filed documents with the Federal Election Commission.
Altogether, the money accounts for over a tenth of contributions to Sinema's main campaign account over the last 3 months.
