Maybe second poorest.

  1. Rubén Hinojosa
    Filed personal bankruptcy (2010) while serving in the House.
    Cause: liabilities tied to a family meat business loan (~$2.6M owed to Wells Fargo).
    This is consistently described as a “rare” case of a sitting member filing bankruptcy.

👉 This is the clearest, well-documented modern example.

I wonder if anybody believes it. It would have to put her last amongst all congresspeople.

One unlikely happenstance after another.
