JoAnna Mendoza Campaign Unfollowed 12 Explicit Accounts in Arizona Toss-Up House Race

Summary
JoAnna Mendoza’s campaign Instagram unfollowed some accounts after a New York Post inquiry, following reports it had tracked 12 sexually explicit profiles and self-described witches.
The account for the Arizona Democrat challenging Rep. Juan Ciscomani in the 6th District had reportedly followed OnlyFans creators, a transgender socialist activist posting BDSM imagery, and witchcraft-themed accounts offering “beginner tips.”
The episode adds a culture-war controversy to one of 2026’s most competitive House contests; Cook Political Report rates the district a toss-up, one of 18 such races nationally.
Mendoza, a Marine Corps veteran, had already faced scrutiny after a 2020 video resurfaced in which she backed decriminalizing sex work, and her campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital.
