'I know prices are too high,' Hinson said in an interview with Fox News this week. 'I'm also a working mom, I have two teenage boys who are out of school for the summer, so I understand what it's like to have your whole fridge go empty after only two days of filling it again.
'I fill my gas tank in my minivan too. I understand how those pressures can pinch the family's budget.'
All the while, Hinson has a net worth between $1million and $8million, she reported on her 2024 financial disclosure form, which was filed in August 2025, and viewed by the Daily Mail.

Now she wants to escalate her position to Senator so she can get larger campaign contributions, and even bigger "gifts".
