George Santos Explains His Wealth

Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY), who was a former call center employee, told City and State NY that his wealth skyrocketed in the past several years to enable him to lend hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaign.

He said that after different jobs, he opened his own firm and “it just worked because I had the relationships and I started making a lot of money. And I fundamentally starting building wealth.”

He added: “I decided I’d invest in my race for Congress. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
