Since the earliest online report (2013)
Compares the 2013 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. He took office in 2009. 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.
What the latest report lists
| Broadview | $15,001–$50,000 |
| Debts | none reported |

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.
Paul Tonko reported household assets minus debts of $15K to $50K, a midpoint of about $33K, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed May 27, 2026).
Paul Tonko has represented the Albany area in the U.S. House since 2009. He represented New York's 21st district until 2013 and the 20th district since then, which now includes all of Albany, Saratoga and Schenectady counties and part of Rensselaer County. He is a member of the Democratic Party.
Tonko served in the New York State Assembly from 1983 to 2007 and then led the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority until 2008. In the House he is the top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce subcommittee on the environment. He took office before the first annual report shown on this page. His House disclosures list very few reportable assets, so the ranges on this page are small. Like other members, he does not have to report a home he lives in or federal retirement savings.
What his 2025 disclosure shows
The report he filed on May 27, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 1 asset with a value, adding up to $15,000 to $50,000.
The report lists no debts that we count, so the range of $15,000 to $50,000 comes from the assets alone, with a midpoint of about $33,000.
How the range has changed
Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $0 on his 2013 report to about $33,000 on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $33,000, on the 2020 report. 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, Tonko 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.
