Arizona Democrat congressional candidates are facing scrutiny for bankrolling their campaigns with massive checks from the Soros family.
In the most recent reporting period, Federal Election Commission records reveal Congressional District 6 (AZ-06) candidate Democrat lobbyist Joanna Mendoza and Congressional District 2 (AZ-02) Democrat candidate Jonathan Nez each pocketed $14,000 from George Soros’s son Jonathan and his wife Jennifer for their 2026 races. In Congressional District 1 (AZ-01), Dr. Amish Shah grabbed $6,600 from the same Soros family members during his 2024 campaign.
“Democrats love calling themselves the party of the working class,” stated Arizona Republican Party Chairman Sergio Arellano. “That’s funny because they seem to spend a lot more time listening to radical billionaire donors than the people actually working overtime to pay the bills. Maybe that’s why hardworking Americans aren’t buying what they’re selling anymore.”
The Soros family has been accused of simultaneously funding dark money groups working to covertly manipulate Arizona voters. Republicans claim that Nez, Mendoza, and Shah are “completely owned by their Soros benefactors.”

Newly filed Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports show Mendoza spent $2,264,183 in the second quarter — a 112% burn rate — ending the quarter with $3,260,752 cash on hand. Mendoza spent more money than she brought in.
Mendoza has consistently proven she’s terrible with money, say critics, including reporting she was a millionaire, then claiming she gave up the money, and hiding assets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on her disclosures.
Republicans say that Mendoza owes Arizona voters answers after a new investigative report revealed that she secretly married and divorced a Syrian national under mysterious circumstances. Mendoza has not disclosed the marriage nor has she been honest about her support for transgender prostitution or forcing transgender men in girls’ sports.
“Democrat lobbyist Joanna Mendoza and socialist Amish Shah sold out Arizona the moment they cashed these massive Soros checks,” stated NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen. ” These liberals serve the radical left-wing agenda of a billionaire family pushing dangerous socialist, defund the police, open borders policies.”
