LegiStorm has added financial disclosures for the new members-elect

Posted by LegiStorm on Friday, November 05, 2010

The anger about economic uncertainty that led average citizens to send new legislators to Washington does not mean that they elected people strictly of average means.

The personal financial disclosures of nearly 100 newly elected representatives and senators, which LegiStorm has now added to its site, show that a handful were earning salaries approaching half a million dollars or more before they began their bids for Congress. Others earned less in recent years but are sitting on millions of dollars in assets. 

Professional football player Jon Runyan, who won a House seat in New Jersey, earned nearly $700,000 last year from bashing opponents on the gridiron. Larry Bucshon of Indiana made $556,000 as a heart surgeon last year. Texas's Bill Flores received $827,000 in payments from the Phoenix Exploration Co., an oil and gas drilling company he co-founded. Charles Fleischmann, who will represent Tennessee's 3rd district, topped Flores with $865,000 in 2009 income.
