Searchable Database of Congressional Staff Salaries Debuts
New from LegiStorm:
Based on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, LegiStorm's first information product is a database of congressional staff salaries. The information is provided in a strictly factual, non-partisan fashion. We have no political purpose except to make the workings of Congress as transparent as possible. We expect this resource to be useful to journalists, researchers, and current and would-be staffers - as well as regular citizens who simply want to know how their representatives spend public money.We obtain our data for this site from the official record books: the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House reports. The Senate publishes its data every six months; the House, every three months. It takes several weeks for these offices to publish their data and it takes another few short weeks for LegiStorm to get the data into our database. Therefore, the most recent information is not available on our site.
