U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema piled up another pricey quarter for travel — including bills for visits to France, Japan and the United Kingdom paid by her campaign.

Sinema, I-Ariz., who announced she wouldn’t seek a second term in March, billed about $216,000 for travel between July and September, her latest campaign finance report showed. Her campaign also paid $152,000 for her security-related expenses.

The report doesn’t detail specifically where she went, why or even when, but it does show Sinema’s penchant for travel, which became part of an ethics complaint by her critics, hasn’t dimmed in her final months on the job.

It is known she attended the Olympics in Paris in August and took part in the amateur “Marathon for All” that was open to non-Olympian athletes between the men’s and women’s races.
