If a person has so much money that they could stop working for the rest of their lives and live an upper class lifestyle in their area, I think they would be a bad choice for office. Governor, senator, etc. I could see maybe Mayor.
Nah, because even if they were unbiased, they’d treat it as a hobby and their own investments as their real job.
If they want to help the community, they can do it by funding social programs. Build a park, provide job schooling or even just after school programs.
Loads of ways that with their wealth they exclusively could help. When someone who actually represents the citizens can hold office.
I’d love to see wealth tied to area you represent. If Silicon valley wants Newsome, cool, elect him in the house. But the Governor of a state should be within at most 10x the wealth of median constituent.

That’s fair. Maybe there needs to be an elected powerless rich person. Like… ambassador…
