Dear friend of OpenSecrets,
Billionaire-donor-turned-candidate Tom Steyer is required to file his first personal financial disclosure next month. Once he does, it will likely reveal him to be the wealthiest candidate to seek the Democratic nomination in the modern era, dwarfing fellow mega-rich candidate John Delaney whose worth is somewhere between $56 - $280 million.
The Net Worth of 2020 Presidential Candidates page on OpenSecrets.org doesn't just reveal how much each candidate earns, the stock portfolios they invest in and companies they are connected to. More importantly, it helps you spot possible conflicts of interest.
Personal financial disclosures are essential to having a transparent political system — and just one of the tools we create on our site to give you the power of oversight over your elected officials, and a safeguard against the whims of unanswerable authority.
Keeping these records up to date is painstaking, meticulous work, some of which must be done manually to ensure accuracy. Currently, we're working to complete up-to-date profiles for the presidential candidates, the president and his cabinet, and members of Congress, which will make OpenSecrets the only free source offering this information in a comprehensive and accessible digital format.
We need your help to update net worth profiles so that we can ensure this information is readily available for the public. Would you lend us a hand?
