The husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who advocates ensuring corporations “pay their fair share,” previously owned a company that reportedly owed money to the IRS.
Tim Mynett, Omar’s husband, and William R. Hailer, Mynett’s business partner, operated EStreetCo, an advertising, design, and public relations business that dissolved in June 2022, according to a Thursday report from the Washington Free Beacon.
‘The company has no outstanding tax obligations from the COVID era; in fact, we have a balance due to us.’
A document obtained by the news outlet revealed that in 2023, after the company’s dissolution, the IRS filed a lien for nearly $206,000 in unpaid income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes.
Omar announced in February that she introduced an amendment in the House Budget Committee to “make corporations pay their fair share.” The representative has opposed Republicans’ budget resolution, calling it “a blueprint for American decline.”
“Let’s be clear: They want to exploit your labor, take your tax dollars, and gut your earned benefits — all to bankroll tax cuts for their wealthy friends and donors. They want to increase your health care costs — while Elon Musk and his friends hoard even more wealth,” Omar said in February during a speech on the House floor.

The Free Beacon noted that Omar’s personal wealth is as much as $30 million. In a 2021 financial disclosure, she described EStreetCo as a “creative agency,” claiming that her husband’s share in the firm was worth $1,000 or less.
The news outlet reported that the Sonoma County recorder does not have any record that the IRS released its lien against EStreetCo.

However, a spokesperson for EStreetCo told Blaze News, “The company has no outstanding tax obligations from the COVID era; in fact, we have a balance due to us.” Documents provided by the spokesperson showed that the IRS owed the company approximately $3,000 as of September 3, 2025.
A representative for Omar did not respond to a request for comment.
