Polis 6th Richest Member of Congress

(Nothing to sneeze at, but down a little from previous estimates? – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Not that surprising for those familiar with Congressman Jared Polis and his personal fortune, but noteworthy nonetheless from Roll Call:

The 50 Richest Members of Congress (2011)

To determine the richest lawmakers, Roll Call adds up the minimum value of total assets reported by each Member on their annual financial disclosures and subtracts the minimum liabilities…

1. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) $294.21 Million

2. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) $220.40 Million

3. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) $193.07 Million

4. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) $81.63 Million

5. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) $76.30 Million

6. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) $65.91 Million

7 Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) $55.07 Million

8. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) $52.93* Million

9. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) $45.39 Million

10. Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) $44.21 Million

All signs point to Colorado’s 2nd Congressional district staying relatively safe for Polis, but if there was any doubt that he would be able to compete in pretty much any iteration of the district, this removes it.
