Just saw Senator Bill Cassidy's Q1 FEC filing from last year and the numbers are pretty interesting. Dude raised $783K in fundraising, which ranked 55th among all politicians that quarter. Only about half came from individual donors though. His cash on hand was $7.5M by the end of the period, which put him in the top 25 for that metric. Curious thing about Bill Cassidy net worth - Quiver estimated it at around $447.5K back then, ranking 338th in Congress. Not exactly rolling in it compared to some of these guys. What's wild is looking at his old stock trades. Sold off $50K of Cummins stock back in 2016 that's up over 150% since then. Also dumped Toyota around the same time for $50K - that's up 66%. But he sold Apple for $15K in 2018 and that stock absolutely exploded 370% after he let it go. Classic case of bad timing. The Bill Cassidy net worth figure is mostly from real estate and other assets since he's got basically zero in publicly traded stocks that they can track. Anyway, if you follow political money, this stuff is on Quiver Quantitative if you want to dig deeper into it.
