According to a newly released financial disclosure report, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene bought a house in the nation’s capital. This came as a surprise to most following the Georgia representative’s continuous public attack against Washington, D.C.
In November 2022, the Republicans took to X, calling the nation’s capital an embarrassment to the country and a “crime-ridden hellhole. However, on Monday, June 24, 2024, it was revealed that one could purchase a condo worth between a million and half a million dollars. The condo is located in the District of Columbia.
This was confirmed in the financial report she filed on May 15, 2024, for her 2023 financial statement. Questions were sent to Greene’s media representative, Nick Dyer, about the report. Although Dyer acknowledged the questions asked, he refused to answer them.
In addition to Greene’s statement about the capital, she also called for the repeal of the Home Rule law. The law allows city residents to control their local affairs through the election of the Council of the District of Columbia. The council consists of 13 members, including a chairperson, who is charged with supervising the legislative branch of local government.

Following the news, city council member Christina Henderson asked Greene to learn more before talking. Henderson said that “there is far more to D.C. than the federal enclave, and as a part-time resident and now property owner, I’d encourage Rep. Greene to learn more.”
Regarding the property purchase, the mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, declined to comment. Additionally, all other council members have either refused to comment on the topic or were unavailable. The exact location of the condo remains unknown.
It is not special or new for Congress members to purchase property in the capital, especially if they are not permanent residents. However, some Capitol members share rooms, with some sleeping in their offices. Greene was able to finance a $65,000 security fence for her Georgia home via campaign funds.

Since divorcing her husband, Perry Greene, Greene has taken several financial stances. A dependent child’s IRA has equities in businesses such as Tesla, Johnson & Johnson, and Caterpillar, among other investments included in Greene’s annual financial declaration.
She also disclosed owning stock in Walt Disney Co., which Greene had previously alleged was sexualizing kids. From her family’s construction company, Taylor Commercial, Inc., Greene reported a yearly income of between $1 million and $5 million.
While sitting on the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, Greene disclosed last month that he had purchased up to $15,000 worth of shares in Qualcomm, a government defense contractor, Raw Story said.

While she was a member of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Accountability and the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, she also disclosed having invested up to $15,000 in Microsoft.
Purchases of up to $15,000 in each of Home Depot, Goldman Sachs, Hershey, Berkshire Hathaway, and Tractor Supply Company, as well as up to $500,000 in US Treasury notes, were among the other investments disclosed in May.
