hey there welcome to the channel today we're diving into something that might surprise you how one of the least wealthy political candidates in the 2024 election is making headlines for his financial decisions we're talking about Minnesota Governor Tim Walls who has been named vice president kamla Harris's running mate but what's really caught people's attention is his financial transparency let's get into it Tim Walls started off as a high school social studies teacher with deep roots in Rural America unlike many of his political counterparts he doesn't invest in stocks bonds or even Securities sounds almost too modest for a top political figure right but here's the kicker this makes him incredibly relatable to the average American in fact it's sparking conversation as Kathleen Hall Jameson from the University of Pennsylvania put it he owns no stock that's the kind of financial life a lot of people live Wall's Financial disclosure reveals that his assets are largely tied up in pensions and life insurance alongside earnings from his wife Gwen walls who works in public education and law he's got no flashy Investments no business Empires just the basics that many of us are familiar with during a rally in Philadelphia Waltz really connected with the crowd saying Donald Trump's not fighting for you or your family he never sat at that kitchen table like the one I grew up at wondering how we were going to pay the bills and it's not just talk wal's income is largely from his work in public service in fact he recently declined a raise in his $127,000 salary as governor and his wife works as a public school employee but that's not all just last year he pulled $135,000 from his pension to pay for his daughter's College tuition that's something many families can relate to using hard-earned savings to invest in their children's future now let's talk about net worth despite serving as a congressman governor and potentially soon as vice president wal's net worth is just over $1 million that may sound like a lot but compared to other top tier political figures it's on the low end his wealth is modest and his pension accounts are a big part of that according to Forbes his financial portfolio includes pensions from the National Guard Congress and his teaching days which could add up to around $800,000 in the long run what does this mean for the average voter well in a political landscape filled with billionaires and investors Tim Walls is an outlier someone who's navigating the same Financial realities that many Americans face so what do you think does wal's financial situation make him more relatable as a candidate drop your thoughts in the comments below and don't forget to to like And subscribe for more insights on the latest political and financial trends
