That's a pay raise from the $169,300 she's making now. I doubt that the debt would sway her one way or the other. It's not like Bill isn't earning or that her speaking fee wouldn't quadruple if she went to the bench.

And Will, politics and power are mutually exclusive. That's why "political" modifies "power" in your example.
