Socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is much richer than when she entered Congress, and it’s more than just the $174,000-a-year congressional salary. She married her campaign strategist Tim Mynett after her campaign dumped an eye-popping $2.9 million into his consulting business during the 2020 election cycle.
