Capitol Hill IndexMembers of Congress and their money
All 533 voting members with their stock trades, corporate PAC money, education and tenure, plus a financial integrity score you can reweight.
How the score works
Each member gets 0 to 100, higher meaning cleaner, built from three parts:
Trading restraint. Fewer stock trades per year in office scores higher: one trade a year scores 75, three score 50, fifteen or more score 0. Only trades since the STOCK Act took effect in April 2012 count.
Filing on time. The share of trades reported within the law's 45-day deadline.
Corporate PAC independence. How little of their last campaign's money came from corporate PACs. 5% scores 75, 10% scores 50, 20% or more scores 0.
Missing data drops out and the other parts carry the score. A low score is a pattern worth a closer look, not proof of wrongdoing.
Notes. House trades come from members' e-filed transaction reports; scanned paper filings aren't included. Senate trades are shown when the Senate's disclosure site allows downloads. Trading volume and gains use the midpoint of each reported dollar range, so they are estimates. Estimated gain compares the price at purchase with the price when a sale of that stock was disclosed, or today's price.
