• Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota is a man of relatively modest means, according to financial disclosures.
  • In fact, he doesn’t own a single stock.
  • Like other members of Congress, Walz even slept in his Capitol Hill office for some time.

    Yeah, I don’t own stocks. I just have a 401k and shares of VTI, VXUS, and VOO in my IRA and traditional brokerage. But I don’t own stocks!

    To be honest though, I don’t see a problem (or at least as big of a problem) with politicians owning total market index funds.

      Oh I totally agree with you on this. There’s no conflict of interest in that case so why not.
