What they report · Where they serve · not the pond

Reported assets
At least $550,002 (range $550,002–$1,100,000)
2025 House financial disclosure, lowest value of each band, summed. Official report ↗
Median household income, CO-2
$100,908 (±$1,573)
Census ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimate. Census table ↗

550% of the CO-2 median

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.

$672,001 TAKE (dual-party PAC)

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

  • AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION$12,500

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.
