New documents reveal two Seattle city councilmembers who are also outspoken socialists are have seen their combined net worth skyrocket to nearly $4 million while in office.
Councilmembers Kshama Sawant and Tammy Morales, both outspoken Socialists, report massive increases in their net worth, new financial disclosures reveal.
Sawant, who promised voters she would live off an “ordinary worker’s salary” of just $40,000, has seen her net worth double after just four years in office, from $270,000 in 2016 to $550,000 in 2020.
Sawant has been “donating” her salary to her own “Kshama Sawant Solidarity Fund.”
“The majority of the donations made its way back to Sawant via Socialist Alternative,” reports Seattle radio host Jason Rantz.
Sawant’s husband is the group’s political director.
Morales, also an outspoken socialist, reports a net worth of $3 million.
That’s an eye-popping amount for someone who was previously a low-paid non-profit employee.
She is married to a physician and runs her own consulting business “facilitating cross-sector planning among diverse stakeholders to align data collection, collaboration, and services in order to address disparities and improve outcomes.”
Despite their lavish wealth, Sawant and Morales have savaged employers and businesses as greedy exploiters and called for massive tax increases on them, with exceptions carved out for themselves and their businesses.
