A Washington Post investigation
of
the wealth of members of Congress highlights Sen. Jim Risch as the
14th wealthiest member of Congress,
while his GOP colleague, Rep. Raul Labrador, is 19th poorest. Such rankings aren’t new and are based on the annual financial disclosure forms filed by members of Congress, which are tracked annual by the
Center for Responsive Politics,
which includes a database of finance reports for members of Congress. The Post’s investigation, called “Capitol Assets,” dug deeply into the 2010 figures, examining how members manage their money and how they can benefit from bills they support. The Post concludes that wealthy lawmakers
mostly weathered the recession
without significant declines in their wealth/
