Since the earliest online report (2013)
Compares the 2013 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. He took office in 1997. The House's online database has his electronic reports from 2013 on, so we can't show his wealth when he 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.
Jim McGovern reported household assets minus debts of $115K to $5.2M, a midpoint of about $2.66M, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed May 12, 2026).
Jim McGovern has represented central Massachusetts in the U.S. House since 1997, now the 2nd district, stretching from Worcester to the Pioneer Valley. He is the ranking member of the House Rules Committee and co-chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission.
Born and raised in Worcester, he was a senior staff member for Representative Joe Moakley from 1981 to 1996. He chairs the board of the Congressional Hunger Center and helped create the McGovern-Dole school feeding program.
What his 2025 disclosure shows
The report he filed on May 12, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 4 assets with a value, adding up to $1.4 million to $5.8 million. The largest are basement rental unit (Washington, DC) (joint, $1M–$5M); Fidelity – FA Freedom 2025 A (spouse, $250K–$500K) and Congressional Federal Credit UnionMoney Market & CD (spouse, $100K–$250K).
On the debt side, the report lists two debts adding up to $600,000 to $1.2 million. The largest is a mortgage with TD Bank, held jointly, in the $500K–$1M band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $115,000 to $5.2 million, with a midpoint of about $2.7 million.
How the range has changed
Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $2.7 million on his 2013 report to about $2.7 million on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $2.8 million, on the 2014 report. The lowest was about $2.1 million, in 2019. The chart shows 13 reports from 2013 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, McGovern 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.
