‘Nothing To See Here’: Dem Squad Member Doesn’t Want To Discuss Her $8 Million Wealth Jump Since Entering Congress

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley brushed off a question Wednesday about how her wealth jumped to as much as $8 million after initially entering Congress with a negative net worth.

Pressley entered Congress after upsetting incumbent Democrat Rep. Michael Capuano of Massachusetts in a 2018 primary election, according to Ballotpedia, and her initial financial disclosure led some to conclude her net worth was in the negatives. Fox Business reporter Chad Pergram questioned Pressley after her financial disclosure for 2024 indicated a net worth of as much as $8 million, due to multiple rental properties in Massachusetts and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in a segment that aired on “The Bottom Line” Thursday evening.

“How did you make all this income from the rental property?” Pergram asked Pressley, who responded, “Sir, I submit my financial disclosure, just like everybody else. There’s nothing to see here. Thank you.”

“Is it appropriate for members to make so much money when they’re in office? Should there be rules there?” Pergram asked.

Pressley did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation
