At press conference, Hovde refused to answer questions about his personal wealth
MADISON, Wis. — Yesterday, state Senator Kelda Roys and Representative Tip McGuire called out Eric Hovde for being an out-of-touch California bank owner and ‘walking conflict of interest,’ who insults Wisconsinites every time he opens his mouth and won’t answer simple questions about which foreign entities are depositing money in his bank.
Just hours after Sen. Roys and Rep. McGuire highlighted Hovde’s sketchy financial entanglements, Hovde refused to answer a simple question about his net worth.
For weeks on end, Hovde has dodged questions about his net worth and conflicts of interest, hiding the truth about how he stands to profit if he were in the Senate.
