Lauren Underwood Net Worth

Lauren Underwood reported household assets minus debts of $19K to $112K, a midpoint of about $66K, on her latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed May 13, 2026).

Lauren Underwood is a registered nurse and a member of the Democratic Party who represents Illinois's 14th congressional district, which covers outer western suburbs of Chicago including DeKalb, Joliet, Oswego, Ottawa and Yorkville. She was elected in 2018 and, when sworn in, became the youngest Black woman to serve in Congress.

She grew up in Naperville, Illinois, earned a nursing degree from the University of Michigan and two master's degrees from Johns Hopkins University, and began her career as a policy professional in the Obama administration in 2014, later serving as a senior advisor at the Department of Health and Human Services.

What her 2025 disclosure shows

The report she filed on May 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 7 assets with a value, adding up to $19,000 to $112,000. The largest are Fidelity Investment: Vanguard 500 Index Fd Admiral Shs (VFIAX) ($15,001–$50,000); DuPage Credit Union ($1,001–$15,000) and Government Printing Office Federal Credit Union ($1,001–$15,000). Another three items are listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so they are not counted.

The report lists no debts that we count, so the range of $19,000 to $112,000 comes from the assets alone, with a midpoint of about $66,000. It also lists a mortgage on a home the report does not list as an asset. As on all our House profiles, we leave that debt out because the home's value is not counted either.

How the range has changed

Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of her disclosed range went from about $41,000 on her 2017 report to about $66,000 on her 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $97,000, on the 2023 report. The chart shows nine reports from 2017 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, Underwood does not have to report a home she lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so her real net worth could be higher than these forms show.
