Center for Responsive Politics – Personal Finances Disclosures: “In some ways, lawmakers’ finances look a lot like those of many Americans. They include diverse portfolios of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and real estate. They have bank accounts, credit cards and mortgages. The difference: Politicians generally have more money and—unlike most people they represent—they must make their investments public. By May 15 of each year, congressional members and top officials in the executive branch must file forms covering the preceding calendar year that detail their personal finances. By law, they must list their assets and liabilities, their income (excluding their government salaries, oddly), asset transactions, gifts they received and more. They need not list property unless it produces income, meaning their primary residence is generally not listed. But they must include the source of their spouse’s income.
