Clerical error briefly makes Northwest Indiana congressman a multimillionaire

The brief tenure of U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, as one of the richest members of Congress appears to be over.

Of course, Mrvan never was one of the richest members of Congress.

Prior to his 2020 election to represent Lake, Porter and western LaPorte counties in the U.S. House, Mrvan earned $92,000 a year as North Township trustee and $9,000 in connection with unspecified work at Vyto’s Pharmacy.

But a “clerical error” on his House financial disclosure form inadvertently put Mrvan in the financially rarefied air breathed by U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., whose $200 million net worth stems from several health care companies he founded, and the estimated $60 million of U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., whose family owns the Meijer chain of retail stores.

Last month, Business Insider projected Mrvan’s net worth to be $49.8 million, making the first-term congressman 14th richest out of the 535 members of the House and Senate.
