What the records do not show
- Amounts are the ranges the filer chose on the form, not exact figures. A trade reported as between $1,001 and $15,000 could be either.
- A transaction report says when the clerk received it, not when the order was placed, and a trade may have been made by a spouse, a dependent child, or an outside manager with no direction from the member.
- Late means past the 45 days the STOCK Act allows. It is counted only from periodic transaction reports, never from annual-report holdings, and never from a trade dated before the member took office.
- One record elsewhere shares this member's name and nothing else. A shared name is not a connection, and it is not cited here.
- Some Senate rows carry no link to a public filing, so a few lines below point at no document.
- Most companies in the database have no sector on file, so an overlap between a trade and a committee's jurisdiction is a floor, not a total.
