Since the earliest online report (2018)
Compares the 2018 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. He took office in 2017. The House's online database has his electronic reports from 2018 on, so we can't show his wealth when he first took office. His report for 2017 contains entries we could not read reliably, so it is left out rather than guessed. 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.

Where the money comes from
Main sources named in the disclosures and the reporting we cite. The forms don’t split the total into exact amounts, so we don’t show percentages.
Ron Estes reported household assets minus debts of $385K to $1.37M, a midpoint of about $876K, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 10, 2026).
Ron Estes has represented Kansas's 4th congressional district since 2017. He is a civil engineer and a member of the Republican Party, and he is the dean of Kansas's House delegation.
A fifth-generation Kansan, he studied engineering and business at Tennessee Tech. He was elected treasurer of Sedgwick County in 2004 and reelected in 2008, and he served as the 39th Kansas State Treasurer from 2011 until he resigned in 2017. After U.S. Representative Mike Pompeo resigned to become Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, he won the special election for the seat and was sworn in on April 25, 2017.
What his 2025 disclosure shows
The report he filed on August 10, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 35 assets with a value, adding up to $400,000 to $1.4 million. The largest are KPERS 457: DFA US Large Cap Value 1 ($100K–$250K); KPERS 457: T Rowe Price Capital Appreciation ($100K–$250K) and Spouse 401k – Stand Together Benefits, LLC 401K Plan: State Street Target Retire 2030 SL Cl IV (spouse, $100K–$250K). Another two items are listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so they are not counted.
On the debt side, the report lists one debt, a credit card balance with Citibank, in the $10,000–$15,000 band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $385,000 to $1.4 million, with a midpoint of about $876,000. 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 $1.1 million on his 2018 report to about $876,000 on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $1.4 million, on the 2021 report. The lowest was about $652,000, in 2023. 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, Estes 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.
