OnlyFans models, witches haunt Dem’s campaign in toss-up House race: report
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The official campaign Instagram account for a Democrat running in one of the most competitive House races of 2026 followed multiple accounts belonging to OnlyFans models and individuals claiming to be witches, according to a recent report.
JoAnna Mendoza, a Marine Corps veteran challenging Juan Ciscomani in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, at one point followed 12 accounts that regularly posted sexually explicit content, including images of sex toys, the New York Post first reported.
The Instagram account was also found to reportedly follow accounts run by self-described witches who promised to instruct their followers on witchcraft.
The social media activity injects an unusual culture war controversy into one of the nation’s most competitive House races, where Republicans are defending a seat that could help determine control of Congress in 2026.

Mendoza's Instagram unfollowed some of these accounts after being reached by the New York Post for comment, the outlet reported. The Mendoza campaign did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Thursday.
One of the accounts followed by Mendoza's campaign belonged to a transgender socialist activist who often posts pictures in BDSM gear, the New York Post reported. In one such image, the activist wears what appears to be leather and chains over a bare chest.
The campaign account also followed at least two OnlyFans users, the New York Post reported.

Accounts followed by the campaign account also promised to provide prospective witches with "beginner tips" to engage in practices such as "Eden Energy Medicine" and "Crystal Spirit Readings," according to the outlet.

Mendoza has previously drawn scrutiny amid the campaign, including after a video of her advocating for legal prostitution resurfaced.
When running for state office in 2020, Mendoza told an Arizona LGBT group she would fight to "decriminalize sex work" to help "trans folks, especially trans women of color," because "discrimination is so pervasive in the formal employment sector."

Cook Political Report rates the election in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District as a toss-up, meaning that neither political party has a distinct advantage as Election Day approaches.
Mendoza's race is of just 18 that falls into that category for the 2026 midterm elections.
