Since the earliest online report (2021)
Compares the 2021 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. Through 2020 several home and co-op mortgages are counted without clear rental labels; from 2021 the filings label the Santa Monica mortgage as rental (kept) and personal-home mortgages as excluded. The chart starts with 2021. She took office in 2013. The House's online database has her electronic reports from 2021 on, so we can't show her wealth when she first took 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.

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.
Julia Brownley reported household assets minus debts of $2.01M to $8.62M, a midpoint of about $5.32M, on her latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 6, 2026).
Julia Brownley has represented California's 26th congressional district since 2013. She is a businesswoman and a member of the Democratic Party. The district covers Ventura County and nearby coastal communities.
She served in the California State Assembly from 2006 to 2012 after a career in marketing and sales. Through 2020 several home and co-op mortgages are counted without clear rental labels; from 2021 the filings label the Santa Monica mortgage as rental (kept) and personal-home mortgages as excluded, so the chart starts with 2021.
What her 2025 disclosure shows
The report she filed on August 6, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 42 assets with a value, adding up to $2.5 million to $8.9 million. The largest are Real Estate: Rental Property (Santa Monica, CA, US * Investment Vehicle details available at the bottom of this form. For https://fd.house.gov/reference/asset-type-codes.aspx.) ($1M–$5M); Merrill Lynch: Causeway International Value Fund – Institutional Class (CIVIX) ($100K–$250K) and Merrill Lynch: MFS Total Return Bond Fund Class I (MRBIX) ($100K–$250K). Another one item is listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so it is not counted.
On the debt side, the report lists one debt, a bank of America 2/1/2013 Mortgage for rental in Santa Monica with CA, in the $250K–$500K band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $2 million to $8.6 million, with a midpoint of about $5.3 million. It also lists 2 mortgages on a home the report does not list as an asset. As on all our House profiles, we leave those debts 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 $2.7 million on her 2021 report to about $5.3 million on her 2025 report. The lowest was about $2.3 million, in 2022. 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, Brownley 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.
