Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany drew attention this week to the sharp increase in Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s personal finances since her election to Congress in 2018, citing publicly available financial disclosure filings and property records that show a significant rise in net worth over a relatively short period of time.
During remarks discussing congressional disclosures and ethics rules, McEnany said her team reviewed OpenSecrets data and mandatory financial reports filed by Pressley and her household.
According to McEnany, those records show that Pressley entered Congress with a negative net worth and has since accumulated assets valued in the millions.
