Source: U.S. House Clerk, 2025 annual report filed August 13, 2026. Updated November 1, 2026.
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.

Russell Fry reported household assets minus debts of −$793K to −$260K, a midpoint of about −$526K, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 13, 2026).

Russell Fry has represented South Carolina's 7th congressional district since 2023. He is a lawyer and a member of the Republican Party.

He represented the 106th district in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2015 to 2022 and won his congressional seat in 2022 after defeating the incumbent in the Republican primary. His first report shown here is a candidate report covering 2021, before he took office.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 7 assets with a value, adding up to $7,000 to $105,000. The largest are ML Bank Accounts ($1,001–$15,000); ML – 529: ISHARES 2035 ENROLL D ($1,001–$15,000) and ML – IRA: Dimensional Emerging Core Equity Market ETF (DFAE) ($1,001–$15,000).

On the debt side, the report lists three debts adding up to $365,000 to $800,000. The largest is a student loan with Nelnet, in the $250K–$500K band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of −$793,000 to −$260,000, with a midpoint of about −$526,000. 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 his disclosed range went from about −$351,000 on his 2021 report to about −$526,000 on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about −$311,000, on the 2024 report. 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, Fry 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.
