Five SoCal representatives make list of 50 richest congressmen

Five U.S. Representatives from Southern California have made Roll Call’s annual list of the 50 richest members of the U.S. Congress.
 
The wealthy members of the SoCal delegation are led by U.S. Reps. Jane Harman (D-Los Angeles), worth at least $225 million, and Darrell Issa (R-Vista), who reported assets totaling at least $160 million. Harman and Issa placed second and third on the list overall.
 
Other Southern Californians on the list include U.S. Reps. Gary Miller (R-Diamond Bar), John Campbell (R-Irvine), and David Dreier (R-San Dimas), though all three are worth far less than Harman or Issa.
 
Southern Californians is better represented on the list than any other state, including Texas, where a mere four congressmen made the cut.
