What's Required
Under the Ethics in Government Act (1978), all members of Congress must file annual financial disclosures using OGE Form 278e. These reports cover assets, income, transactions, liabilities, and outside positions.
Asset Ranges
Exact dollar values are not disclosed. Instead, assets are reported in broad ranges: $1K–$15K, $15K–$50K, $50K–$100K, $100K–$250K, $250K–$500K, $500K–$1M, $1M–$5M, $5M–$25M, $25M–$50M, and $50M+. This makes precise calculations impossible.

Data Sources
