A recent report found that the campaign Instagram account of JoAnna Mendoza, a Democrat and Marine Corps veteran running against Republican incumbent Juan Ciscomani in Arizona, was following accounts belonging to OnlyFans models and self-described witches. The revelation is politically awkward for Mendoza, whose contest is considered one of the most competitive House races of the 2026 midterms, as it hands her Republican opponent and critics a line of attack in a closely watched swing district.

Fox News reported the discovery based on a review of accounts followed by Mendoza's official campaign social media page, though the full detail of how many such accounts were followed and the campaign's response was not given in the available article text. The race is being closely monitored as a toss-up contest that could influence control of the House, meaning any reputational controversy surrounding either candidate is likely to draw sustained scrutiny in the coming election cycle.
