First AZ Media report of Senator Gallego Misusing Campaign Funds

2026-06-23

[PhoenixNewTimes] It’s been a rough few months for Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego. His best friend in Congress, former California Rep. Eric Swalwell, resigned after facing sexual harassment and misconduct allegations. Though Gallego denied knowledge of Swalwell’s alleged behavior, his close relationship with Swalwell has raised questions.

Politico reported that since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, Gallego has used his leadership PAC and a joint PAC with Swalwell to fund recent luxury trips to the Super Bowl, Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family.

-----------

The Phoenix media is relying on Politico to do the actual legwork on this. Gallego is claiming that all these luxury trips were campaign biz or fundraising which is obviously smoke but it may be a defense that will draw out the investigation by years.
