FEC Records: Sinema Donated to Progressives Including Sanders

Recent records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) have revealed that Neville Roy Singham, a businessman with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party currently residing in Shanghai, along with his wife Jodie Evans, a co-founder of the anti-war group CodePink, have been significant contributors to various progressive members of the U.S. Congress over the years.

The donation records indicate that the couple has collectively contributed more than $47,000 in political donations to several prominent progressive figures, including Independent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, and Democratic Representatives Pramila Jayapal from Washington, Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, and Chuy García from Illinois.

Among these contributions, Jayapal has received the largest amount. Between 2016 and 2022, her campaign team accepted a total of $35,700, with Singham donating $17,800—none of which has been refunded to date—while Evans contributed $22,900, of which $5,000 was returned.

Omar’s campaign also benefited from the couple’s generosity, receiving a total of $4,200 from them between 2019 and 2023. Shortly after Omar took office in March 2019, Singham donated $2,700 to her team. Later, in November and December of 2023, Evans made two separate donations totaling $1,500—none of which were refunded.

García’s campaign received $1,000 in August 2018, and these funds have not been returned.

Interestingly, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign received $500 from Evans through ActBlue on August 4, 2018, but this contribution was refunded on the same day, coinciding with Ocasio-Cortez’s first run for Congress.

In addition, Sanders’ campaign received at least $6,800, primarily for his presidential run during the 2020 elections.

A recent investigation reported by Fox News Digital disclosed that following his marriage to Evans in 2017 and the sale of his tech company ThoughtWorks, Singham has funneled a staggering $285 million into various U.S. non-profits and media organizations. Notably, The People’s Forum received $22.4 million, CodePink was supported with $1.33 million, and the operation behind BreakThrough News received $1.098 million.

Organizations linked to Singham are frequently involved in orchestrated protests against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), capitalistic structures, data centers, and pro-Palestinian demonstrations, many of which garnered national media and social media attention.

In recent developments, Evans embarked on a promotional tour across China with Medea Benjamin, another co-founder of CodePink.

The non-profit organization registered in California, led by Evans, does not shy away from its mission of reframing the CCP as an ally. The organization prominently features the slogan “China is not our enemy” on its website while actively promoting the “revolutionary history” of this communist nation.

Reports highlight that both Singham and Evans are U.S. citizens living in Shanghai. Their pro-communist affiliations and influence over U.S. non-profits have raised significant concerns.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Southern District of New York’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office are currently pursuing a grand jury investigation into Singham’s network, although he has not yet been charged with any crimes.

During a hearing held by the House Foreign Affairs Committee back in September, Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, indicated that Singham shares office space with a Chinese media company, Maku Cultural Communication. This company is dedicated to promoting a positive image of China.

Furthermore, evidence has surfaced showing Singham participating in a global strategic communications seminar organized by the Chinese Communist Party in 2023.

A video unearthed by Fox News Digital featured Singham speaking at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Shanghai in November 2025, where he expressed support for a “new world order based on multilateralism presented by President Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party, and China.”

As per sources informed about the matter, earlier this year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent visited New York City and met with David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs.

During this meeting, Bessent issued an unequivocal ultimatum regarding potential scrutiny Goldman Sachs might face for allegedly conspiring to funnel funds from Singham, urging the bank to cooperate with the ongoing investigations.

An individual familiar with the discussions told Fox News Digital that there were no disputes during the meeting, and Solomon promptly agreed to assist the Department of Justice with its inquiry.

A spokesperson for Goldman Sachs stated, “All fund disbursements from Singham’s Donor-Advised Fund have gone to legitimate non-profit organizations, conforming to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines. There have been no fund disbursements from that account since August 2023, and it will be closed in early 2024.”
