JoAnna Mendoza, the presumptive Democratic nominee in an Arizona House race that is one of the tightest in the country, has drastically reduced her personal net worth in a new financial disclosure. The filing came one day after the Washington Free Beacon reported that she's a millionaire political consultant with ties to billionaire liberal megadonor George Soros.
The Free Beacon reported Monday that Mendoza, an openly bisexual political consultant and Marine Corps veteran, disclosed owning a minority stake worth between $1 million and $5 million in Radar Strategies, a political consulting firm in Arizona that works with Soros-funded nonprofits as well as with some of the most prominent Democrats in the state. Mendoza reported those figures in her 2025 financial disclosure, a document she signed under penalty of perjury, in which she disclosed she was worth up to $4.7 million when taking into account all her reported assets and liabilities. By definition, those figures make Mendoza a self-reported millionaire.
Following the publication of that report, however, the Mendoza campaign insisted in emails to the Free Beacon that it is "verifiably factually inaccurate" to report that she disclosed being a millionaire. The Mendoza campaign pointed to a new financial disclosure the Arizona Democrat filed on Tuesday in which she reported that her stake in Radar Strategies was actually worth no more than $100,000 before she forfeited her shares to run for Congress. Mendoza now says she's worth no more than $336,000 when taking into account all the reported assets and liabilities in her new disclosure, a 93 percent decrease from the figures she disclosed in her previous filing.
