Walz's financial portfolio makes him by far the least wealthy candidate on either major party ticket this year. Tim Walz, the Democrats' recently selected vice-presidential nominee, owns no businesses, individual stocks, a home or other real estate - a modest financial position that may put him on par with other former high school teachers but creates a striking contrast with the Republican nominee for vice president, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio). The financial disclosure form Walz filed with the state of Minnesota this year is nearly blank, listing no assets other than income from his government job and his wife's work in education. Gwen Walz, a career teacher, has held several positions in recent years at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. The couple earned a combined income of a little over $166,000 in 2022, according to their tax return, including Walz's $115,485 annual salary as governor.
