Oddly Mikel Weisser who runs Phoenix NORML or is that Arizona NORML was listed in this article even though he isn't an elected official.
Mikel Weisser, D (Democratic candidate)I think Mikel Weisser is a supporter of the phoney baloney MPP or Marijuana Policy Project to legalize marijuana in Arizona. Also Arizona's tax and spend socialist Rep. Kyrsten Sinema was listed. I was surprised at the low value of her assets. Despite having a job in the US Congress for several years that pays $174,000 a year she has almost no assets. She must spend her money like a drunken sailor. The same as she spends our tax dollars. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, DRep. Kyrsten Sinema is pretty well hated by the marijuana community because of that 300%, $900 an ounce she tried to slap on medical marijuana when she was a member of the Arizona legislator. She probably hoped the tax would effectively make medical marijuana illegal, for the police and police unions that own her. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema is also a gun grabber who wants to flush the 2nd Amendment down the toilet. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema isn't liked by many of her fellow atheists either. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema despite being an atheist seems to be trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Christian voters and make them think she has a religion. On her Congressional web page she claims not to have a church, rather then admitting she is an atheist like me. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema who is gay isn't liked by the gay community either. Most of the gay people I know seem to hate her and say she has sold out the gay community.
Who are the richest Arizona members of Congress? Bill Theobald, Republic Washington Bureau 8:02 a.m. MST July 7, 2016 WASHINGTON — John and Cindy McCain are still wealthy, but not as much as the previous year. Several Arizona members of Congress and their challengers are still burdened with large student loans. And several Arizona congressional candidates have a negative net worth. These nuggets of personal-financial information were gleaned from the annual reports covering 2015, recently made public, that members of Congress and those challenging them for office are required to submit. The reports include listings of assets and liabilities, but provide only a range of values — not a precise amount. Also, some items, such as the personal residence, do not have to be listed. The wealth reported on these forms is also used to rank members of Congress and provides a clue as to whether incumbents or candidates have the financial wherewithal to fund campaigns using some of their own money. Roll Call, a Capitol Hill publication, ranks members of Congress each year by calculating their minimum net worth. The member's or challenger’s minimum total liabilities are subtracted from their minimum total assets. Using that measure, McCain remains by far the wealthiest Arizona member of Congress, with assets ranging from $12.7 million to $24 million and a minimum net worth of $12.6 million. In 2014, McCain had a net worth of $15.2 million and was ranked the 24th wealthiest member of Congress. The McCains’ largest asset is Cindy's stock in Arizona beverage distributor Hensley Beverage Co., worth more than $1 million. Cindy McCain owed between $110,000 and $265,000 on two American Express revolving charge accounts that charged zero interest, according to the filing. The next wealthiest is Rep. Trent Franks, with a net worth of $9.85 million. Franks’ net worth in 2014 was $11.1 million, and he ranked 40th in Congress. Most of his wealth is in Trinity Petroleum stock. The wealthiest challenger is Christine Jones, the former GoDaddy executive vice president from Phoenix, who is running to replace Republican Rep. Matt Salmon, who is retiring from his 5th District seat. She had a net worth of at least $6.2 million last year. Nine candidates, including Reps. David Schweikert and Kyrsten Sinema, reported student loans among their liabilities. Schweikert, a Republican, and Democrat Sinema both reported $15,000 to $50,000 in outstanding student debt.
