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. We also leave out mortgages on homes the report does not list as assets, because the homes themselves are not counted either.

Compares the 2018 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. His first report in the online database covers 2018, before he took office in 2019, so the chart starts before his first day in office. 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.

Sean Casten reported household assets minus debts of $2.5M to $5.5M, a midpoint of about $4M, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 10, 2026).

Sean Casten has represented Illinois's 6th congressional district since 2019. The district covers southwestern Chicago and many inner southwestern suburbs such as Downers Grove, Wheaton and Orland Park. He is a businessman and a member of the Democratic Party.

After redistricting following the 2020 census, Casten won a 2022 Democratic primary against fellow member Marie Newman and then the general election that November. His first report shown here covers 2018, before he took office.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 10, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 32 assets with a value, adding up to $2.5 million to $5.5 million. The largest are Personal loan to campaign ($250K–$500K); Casten Shared Investments: Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fd Admiral Shs (VTSAX) ($250K–$500K) and Kemper Corporation 401(k) (Principal): Vanguard Target Retirement 2040 Fund (VFORX) (spouse, $250K–$500K). Another two 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 $2.5 million to $5.5 million comes from the assets alone, with a midpoint of about $4 million. 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 his disclosed range went from about $3.3 million on his 2018 report to about $4 million on his 2025 report. The lowest was about $3.1 million, in 2019. The chart shows eight reports from 2018 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, Casten 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.
