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 2021 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. Her first report in the online database covers 2021, before she took office in 2023, so the chart starts before her 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.

Nikki Budzinski reported household assets minus debts of $479K to $1.69M, a midpoint of about $1.08M, on her latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed May 14, 2026).

Nikki Budzinski has represented Illinois's 13th congressional district since 2023. She is a member of the Democratic Party and spent most of her career working for trade unions.

Just before her election she served as chief of staff to the director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Biden administration, a role she began in 2021. Her first report shown here covers 2021, two years before she took office.

What her 2025 disclosure shows

The report she filed on May 14, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 46 assets with a value, adding up to $479,000 to $1.7 million. The largest are Traditional IRA-1: American Funds Investment Co of America A (AIVSX) ($50K–$100K); Traditional IRA-1: Washington Mutual Invs Fd Cl A Shs (AWSHX) ($50K–$100K) and JP Morgan Chase Bank Accounts ($15,001–$50,000). Another one item is listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so it is not counted.

The report lists no debts that we count, so the range of $479,000 to $1.7 million comes from the assets alone, with a midpoint of about $1.1 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 her disclosed range went from about $1.1 million on her 2021 report to about $1.1 million on her 2025 report. The lowest was about $835,000, in 2023. The chart shows five reports from 2021 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, Budzinski 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.
