You might think something like, "Oh, this politician was a Wall Street hot shot or a former CEO or big time hedge fund manager whale. Maybe the politician's spouse is something like that, too. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why the governor of Iowa would have hundreds of millions of dollars." Kim Reynolds wasn't any of that and her husband was a government employee for the Department of Agriculture and she never had a big-shot, high finance career, either. They were career government employees and low-ranking state government politicians. But...hundreds of millions of dollars, as Department of Agriculture employees and governor of Iowa? She's rolling in foreign government money somehow.
