How to read this: members of Congress report each asset and debt in a value band (for example, $1,001 to $15,000), not an exact amount. We add up the low ends and the high ends, then subtract debts the same way, to get the widest possible range. The midpoint is simply the middle of that range, not a measured value. The forms do not include a home the official lives in (unless it earns rent), cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so true net worth can be higher. Senate reports list mortgages but usually not the homes they are on. We count those mortgages as debts, as on all our Senate profiles, which can make the low end look lower than it really is.

Changes can come from a spouse’s assets, market moves, property values, new debts or how filers choose bands, and the forms do not say which. We do not guess.

Chris Murphy reported household assets minus debts of −$4.94M to −$5K, a midpoint of about −$2.47M, on his latest financial disclosure (Annual Report for CY 2025, filed August 10, 2026).

Chris Murphy has represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate since 2013, when he was the youngest senator of the 113th Congress. Before that he served three terms in the U.S. House, from 2007 to 2013, and both chambers of the Connecticut General Assembly.

He won the open seat left by Joe Lieberman in 2012, defeating Linda McMahon, and was reelected in 2018 and 2024.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 10, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 9 assets with a value, adding up to $563,000 to $1.2 million. The largest are USAA (joint, $250K–$500K); Residential Property (joint, $250K–$500K) and USAA (joint, $15,001–$50,000).

On the debt side, the report lists two debts adding up to $1.3 million to $5.5 million. The largest is a mortgage with Wesbanco, held jointly, in the $1M–$5M band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of −$4.9 million to −$5,000, with a midpoint of about −$2.5 million. The Senate form lists mortgages but usually not the homes they are on, so counting those mortgages as debts pulls the low end of the range down.

How the range has changed

Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about −$192,000 on his 2013 report to about −$2.5 million on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about −$69,000, on the 2015 report. The lowest was about −$3.1 million, in 2021. The chart shows 13 reports from 2013 to 2025, each added up the same way, and nothing is filled in between them.

These are ranges built from the value bands on each form, not exact values. They move with market prices, property values, new or paid-off debts and the bands a filer picks, and the forms do not say which of these caused a change. Like every member of Congress, Murphy does not have to report a home he lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so his real net worth could be higher than these forms show.

Why does Chris Murphy's range go below zero?

Our low end adds up the smallest possible value of every asset band and subtracts the largest possible value of every debt band.
