Did you take a look at her bank account? It seems like she's not even a millionaire yet. Some reports are putting her net worth at $49,000 or $125,000.

Where are the non-mammon mouthpieces in congress? Your focus feels way too narrow to take a reasonable conclusion from.

It's a hell of lot better than your estimate of "look at her bank account".

Here's something a little more substantiated. In February 2025 she claimed her wealth is under a half million.

Happy to look at evidence to the contrary.


Take a look at her campaign donations, where she flies, how often, where she stays, which restaurants she attends and everything else involved.

It’s millions and millions. She did a good job of keeping her husband out of the spotlight.

$49 to $125k sounds like a fictitious “we don’t know” number. It’s amusing. And politicians will lie directly to you.


We are shifting the goalposts here. Campaign donations are not her bank account.

Who is going to "take it away" in this scenario? We're not talking about a 'tax the rich' scenario anymore. I don't think she needs to be worried about congressional finance reforms because they write their own laws.

Sometimes politicians will directly tell the truth to you. I'm not evaluating that though. I'm looking for evidence to the contrary, which would be real estimates above the amount she stated, but the only one out there is the absurd $29 million that can't be reached even if you add up her whole career's worth of political donations.
