While Hudson Valley Families Struggle, Millionaire Pat Ryan has Gotten Richer in Congress

KINGSTON, N.Y. — August 25, 2026 — While Hudson Valley families are struggling to afford one home, Congressman Pat Ryan and his family are maintaining a residence in one of America’s most expensive cities — and Ryan’s own financial disclosures show that they have still gotten wealthier during his time in Congress.

Using the midpoint of the asset and liability ranges reported in Ryan’s House financial disclosures, his disclosed financial net worth was approximately **$2.4 million in 2023** and approximately **$3.1 million in 2025** — an increase of roughly **$700,000**.

Because congressional financial disclosures report assets in broad ranges rather than exact values, the figures are estimates. But the trend is clear.

“While Hudson Valley families are struggling to afford one home, the Ryans are maintaining two - including one in one of America’s most expensive cities - and somehow getting richer while Pat Ryan serves in Congress,” said Jackie Auringer.

Ryan’s own rhetoric makes the contrast even more striking. On his congressional website, Ryan has said:

*“For too long, politicians in both parties have put their own gain ahead of what’s best for the American people… No more getting rich off trading stocks.”*

Ryan’s filings show substantial holdings in individual stocks, retirement accounts, private investments, savings accounts and other financial assets.

His Tesla holdings, for example, rose from a disclosed value of **$15,001–$50,000 in 2022** to **$100,001–$250,000 in 2024 and 2025.**

Ryan’s latest disclosure also includes a spouse-owned Charles Schwab Roth IRA containing individual shares of Apple, Ford, IBM and Verizon.

“That raises a very simple question,” Auringer said. “How does a family take on the expense of maintaining another household in Washington, live on a congressional salary, and still see its disclosed wealth grow by roughly **$700,000**? Pat Ryan is the one who said politicians shouldn’t be getting rich off stocks. Voters deserve transparency about how his own family’s wealth has grown while he has been in Congress.”

Based on midpoint estimates calculated from the ranges in Ryan’s House financial disclosures:

**2022:** approximately $2.6 million **2023:** approximately $2.4 million **2024:** approximately $2.7 million **2025:** approximately $3.1 million

Ryan reports the same joint mortgage liability of **$250,001** to **$500,000** in each of the four annual disclosures.

“Congress should be about public service, not personal enrichment,” Auringer said. “That is why I support a complete ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks.”
