180% of the MI-7 median

Median household income, MI-7 $80,357

Tom Barrett, reported assets (low end) $143,041

The income bar shows the median as a share of the larger of the two figures, with a 3px minimum width so it stays visible. The assets bar has its own scale, from $1 at the left to $20 million at the right, and follows the low end of the range. It fills completely when the top of the range is over $20 million. Its color, and the color of the percentage above, runs from green on the left to red on the right.

Reported assets are what the disclosure form lists, in value bands, before debts and not counting a primary home. The median is one year's household income. They measure different things.

Context only. The income figure never moves the pond.

Did they take money from PACs that funded both Democrats and Republicans? Money never moves the pond.

$35,500 TAKE (dual-party PAC)

Took at least $1,000 from PACs that fund both parties.

Traditional PAC contributions to candidate committees only. A dual-party PAC gave at least $1,000 to both parties. AIPAC in this table is committee C00797670. Legal, disclosed, hard-capped.
