Yesterday, Arizona's Politics published info on the personal financial disclosure statements for Arizona's Congressional delegation. A couple of quick follow-up notes (we are working on a couple of others):
1) Only 3 Senators have a lower "average net worth" than our Arizona Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ); and, only 15 Representatives have a lower ANW than Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-CD9). Both have been in public service for most of their adult lives (although Sinema is quite a few years younger than Flake).
2) Arizona Rep. Trent Franks' (R-CD8) ANW of more than $33Million Ranks 21st In House - the top 5%; Sen. John McCain's $7.4M ranks only 19th in what used to be known as the Millionaires' Club - top 20%. While both have been in public service for a long time, Franks' wealth comes from his oil and gas exploration company, and McCain's is largely based on Cindy McCain's family's beer distributorship.
