Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) $101.1 million
Earmark near personal property: $50.0 million
Over the past decade, the House minority leader helped secure $50 million in earmarks toward a light-rail project that will provide direct access to San Francisco's Union Square and Chinatown for neighborhoods south of Market Street. Pelosi's husband owns a four-story commercial building blocks from Union Square. These earmarks were reported in the book "Throw Them All Out." A Pelosi spokesman said the project was requested by community leaders and that the new stations on the line will be farther away from the building than those on the existing line. –Washington Post
