"Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona independent, announced Tuesday she will retire at the end of her term this year.
She blamed growing partisanship and mudslinging in Washington for driving her decision to not run for reelection, only a few weeks after the Senate rejected the bipartisan, negotiated compromise on immigration policy that she had worked on for months.

"Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of this year," she said in a video Tuesday.

I believe in my approach, but its not what America wants right now, Sinema continued. Despite modernizing our infrastructure, ensuring clean water, delivering good jobs and safer communities, Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners.
Its all or nothing, the outcome less important than beating the other guy, she added. Compromise is a dirty word.
