Legistorm: Transparency's Sidekick

LegiStorm has now completed the upload of all personal financial disclosures filed in 2008 for all House and Senate members and aides.

We uploaded the members of the House and Senate the same morning they were released but the staff have been a much bigger chore. We uploaded Senate staff last week and have now just completed the House staff.

All in all, we have 1,727 disclosures from members of Congress, including amendments. We have 4.850 disclosures for aides. All are avaiable to users who register for free.

We plan to expand the historical breadth of our coverage for members of Congress over the coming months so that users can get better context. For example, we have gathered every publicly available filing for senators and they are awaiting our upload. We will let you know when we have those available electronically.
