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.

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.
