Though when she was in the House she was a very conservative Democrat. She has voted with business a lot. I think what has happened is that Arizona went blue a lot quicker than expected. So she was seen as a conservative Dem who could actually win the Senate seat to, actually you don't need to be that far right to win in AZ.

Sinema was pretty far to the left when she started her career. Was a member of the Green Party and refused to take donations (called them bribes at the time). Now she's actively opposing issues she ran on just a couple of years ago. You don't flip that hard that fast without some kind of incentive.
She grew up incredibly poor. Got her first taste of the good life when she became a Senator and has taken a liking to it. Sure it might be short-sighted, but if you grew up without running water or electricity, having lobbyists throw money at you and your new designer lifestyle can have an impact.
