🚨 JUST DAYS before Democrat Rep Ayanna Pressley was sworn into Congress, her husband quit a $92,000 a year job TO START A CONSULTING FIRM! Net worth skyrocketed to $8 million. Every time you see a politician start a ‘consulting firm, ’ it's very likely that at least some taxpayer money is being laundered. Husband's job change: Conan Harris (Ayanna Pressley's husband) resigned from his $92,500-a-year position as a senior public safety adviser in Boston Mayor Martin Walsh's administration three days before Pressley was sworn into Congress in January 2019. He immediately launched his own management consulting firm, Conan Harris & Associates. Financial disclosures: Pressley's pre-Congress net worth (around 2018) was reported as low or negative (roughly -$12,500 in some summaries, or about $12,500 in assets). By 2024 disclosures, her reported assets reached up to $8 million (with significant debt/liabilities also noted, including multiple mortgages potentially up to $9 million in some estimates). Her congressional salary is $174,000. Harris has a prior criminal record (served time for drug trafficking in the 1990s/early 2000s), which has also been highlighted in coverage. He previously worked in public safety roles and community programs in Boston before the consulting pivot.
