2026 election snapshot

Wealth of Federal Officials and 2026 Candidates

What the people running the federal government, and the main people running to join it, report owning. Figures come from their own public financial disclosures or from published estimates based on them. Every row links to its sources.

Data as of October 30, 2026. Congress will change after the November 3, 2026 election; the new Congress is seated January 3, 2027.

How to read the numbers
  • Disclosure forms report assets and debts in value ranges (for example, $1,000,001 to $5,000,000), not exact amounts. So most figures here are ranges: the low end assumes every asset is at the bottom of its range and every debt at the top; the high end assumes the reverse.
  • Personal homes, government pensions and some spouse assets are not required to be valued, so disclosed figures often understate real net worth. Assets over $50 million are reported only as “over $50,000,000,” marked with a +.
  • Senators’ official filings could not be collected automatically, so senators show the most recent published estimate (usually Quiver Quantitative, which derives its figures from the same filings).
  • Sorting uses the midpoint of each range, or the published estimate where one exists.

Methodology

Where the numbers come from

This page brings together four kinds of source, and each row says which one it uses.

  • House members and House candidates: computed directly from each person’s most recent machine-readable financial disclosure on file with the Clerk of the House (2025 annual reports filed in 2026, or 2026 candidate reports). The figure adds up the reported value range of every asset, then subtracts the reported range of every debt. Filings were downloaded from the Clerk’s public site on October 30, 2026. Scanned paper filings can’t be read automatically; those rows link to the filing and, where available, show a published estimate instead.
  • Senators and Senate candidates: the Senate’s disclosure site blocks automated access, so these rows show the most recent published estimate, usually from Quiver Quantitative (which calculates its figures from the same Senate filings), otherwise from news coverage of the person’s filing. Older or less certain figures are flagged in the row.
  • Executive branch: senior officials file OGE Form 278e. For most, the page shows the total reported asset range as compiled by ProPublica, without debts subtracted (marked “Assets”). For Rubio, Clayton, Greer and Sonderling, the range was computed from the Office of Government Ethics PDF the same way as House figures. Forbes estimates are shown where Forbes publishes one.
  • Which races are included: every House race the Cook Political Report rated Toss-up or Lean (either party) as of October 30, 2026, and every Senate race it rated Toss-up, Lean or Likely, as listed in Wikipedia’s compilation of forecaster ratings. Democratic and Republican nominees are shown, plus independent Dan Osborn in Nebraska, who is the main opponent there. Minor-party candidates are not included.

Known limits. Disclosure forms use value bands, so ranges can be very wide. Primary homes, personal property and government pensions don’t have to be valued, but mortgages sometimes are listed, which can push a figure below zero for people whose main asset is their home. Spouse assets above $1 million can be reported only as “over $1,000,000,” and anything over $50 million as “over $50,000,000”; ranges with such items are marked with +. Assets a filer lists as “Undetermined” (some pensions and book contracts) count as $0. Published estimates use different methods and dates and are not directly comparable with computed ranges. Party labels for executive-branch appointees are shown only for people who have run for or held office under a party label.

Questions

Common questions

Where do these net worth numbers come from?

Mostly from the officials’ own public financial disclosure reports, which list assets and debts in value ranges. House figures are computed from the filings; senators and Senate candidates show published estimates based on their filings; executive-branch officials show reported asset ranges from their federal ethics forms.

Why are some ranges so wide?

Disclosure forms report values in bands, such as $1,000,001 to $5,000,000. Adding dozens of bands produces a wide range. The true figure lies somewhere inside it.

Why does someone show a negative net worth?

Homes used as a residence are not reported as assets, but mortgages and loans often are. Someone whose main asset is their home can therefore show more debt than reported assets.

Does being wealthy mean an official did something wrong?

No. This page describes reported holdings and how they were built. It makes no claim about anyone’s conduct.

How current is this?

It is a snapshot taken October 30, 2026, days before the November 3, 2026 election. Most filings cover calendar year 2025.
