Heather Ammel

Heather Ammel is the estranged wife of Matthew Ammel, a former member of Kyrsten Sinema's security detail. She is currently newsworthy due to a lawsuit she filed against Sinema, a former US Senator from Arizona. The lawsuit alleges "alienation of affection," claiming Sinema engaged in a romantic relationship with Matthew Ammel, leading to the breakdown of their marriage. Ammel asserts that she and Matthew had a loving marriage before Sinema interfered, pursuing him despite knowing he was married. Court filings have revealed Sinema admitting to a "romantic and intimate" relationship with Matthew. Additionally, reports have surfaced indicating that Sinema's former campaign committee paid Matthew Ammel nearly $9,000 in October. The lawsuit seeks at least $75,000 in damages. This case is significant as it involves a prominent political figure and raises questions regarding the nature of relationships between public officials and their staff.
