Terms of Use

They apply to everyone who reads this site and to anyone who creates or uses an account. Using the site means accepting them; if you do not accept them, stop using the site.

They cover ourelectedportfolios.com and the pages served from it. They do not cover anywhere we link to — government filing systems and news sites have their own terms, and we do not control what they publish.

If you create an account, provide accurate information, protect access to your email and session, and do not let another person use the account to evade these terms. We may suspend or remove an account used for abuse, unlawful activity, or interference with the service. The public record remains readable without an account.

What this site does and does not collect about you is a separate document: the privacy policy. Security research has its own too, and section 5 points at it.

Our Elected Portfolios is a source-first monitor of financial disclosures and reported transactions by members of Congress. It is intentionally limited to that record; section 3 describes the current chamber, year and readability coverage.

Everything published here is for information and for the public record. Nothing on this site is investment advice. We are not a broker, an investment adviser, a research firm, or a financial planner. We do not recommend buying or selling anything, we know nothing about your circumstances, and the fact that a member of Congress disclosed a trade is not a reason for you to make one.

Nothing here is legal, tax, or accounting advice either, and reading it creates no professional or advisory relationship of any kind. If you are making a decision that matters, make it with a licensed professional who is accountable to you.

The audited dataset covers US House filing years from 2013 through the current year. As of 26 August 2026, public data pages require exact document and periodic-report source parity for every required year and fail closed when one is absent or unhealthy. Image-only reports remain counted but yield no transaction rows. The Senate is absent.

Trade, member, ticker, and sector pages read those records through anonymous public views. A rendered transaction identifies the filer separately from the reported account owner and links to the original House document. Aggregate counts remain floors because unreadable reports contain transactions the site cannot extract.

Two limits come with the source and neither is ours to fix. Disclosure reports give a dollar range, never an amount. Ranges remain visible; any permitted derived value is labelled as an estimate and never becomes a sale gain or real portfolio total. Filings can also be late, incomplete, amended, hand-written, or wrong at the source. The filing is always the authority, never this site.

The underlying documents are disclosure filings published by the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives under the STOCK Act of 2012. They are United States government public records. Senate Electronic Financial Disclosure records are not ingested. We claim no ownership of those documents and no ownership of the facts inside them.

This site is not affiliated with any government body. Not the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Clerk of the House, the Secretary of the Senate, any committee, any member of Congress or their staff, any federal agency, and no government anywhere. Nothing here is an official record, and nothing here is endorsed by anyone we write about. The official record is the filing, at its source.

Read it, link to it, quote it, argue with it, use it in your reporting — that is what a public record site is for. What we ask you not to do is short:

• Do not attack, probe, or attempt to degrade the site, its infrastructure, or anyone else’s use of it. Good-faith security research is the exception to that, with its own rules and its own safe harbour — read the vulnerability disclosure policy before you start, and send what you find to the address in section 10.
• Do not hammer it with automated traffic. There is no public API and no bulk download today; if you crawl, crawl gently. We reserve the right to rate-limit or block traffic that does not, without warning you first.
• Do not present anything from this site as something it is not — in particular, do not strip a disclosure range of its caveats, present a labelled estimate as an exact value, or present the site as an official or government source.
• Do not use anything published here to harass, threaten, dox, or target any person, including members of Congress, their families, and their staff. Public disclosures are a record of public duties, not an invitation.
• Do not use the site to do anything unlawful, or to help anyone else do so.

Supporter costs $9.99 per month unless Stripe shows a different tax-inclusive total before you confirm payment. It renews monthly until canceled. You can manage or cancel it from the signed-in billing page and Stripe customer portal; cancellation ends paid capability at the end of the period Stripe identifies.

Supporter includes an ad-free signed-in experience, watchlists, personalized briefs and alerts, saved searches and collections, comparisons, CSV export, API access and shared research. We may change or discontinue workflow features, but the source-linked public database remains free. Statutory refund rights, if any, are unaffected by these terms.

The filings are public records and the facts in them belong to everyone. What is ours is the presentation built around them: the writing, the design system, the page layouts and typography, the sector groupings and editorial judgements, and the name Our Elected Portfolios. We reserve our rights in that material, and nothing on this page grants a licence to it or to the software behind it.

Quoting a passage with attribution and a link back is welcome and always will be. Reproducing the site’s presentation wholesale is not. For anything more substantial, see section 10 — and read what it says about how little of a mailbox exists today.

The site is provided as is and as available, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied — including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement.

We do not promise that the site will be available, current, complete, uninterrupted, or free of error. The site transcribes and organizes public disclosures, and those source records can contain omissions, delayed filings, amended entries, unreadable scans and other errors. We may change, break, or take down any part of it, including all of it, at any time and without notice.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising out of your use of this site or of anything you did or did not do because of something you read here. That includes trading and investment losses, lost profits, lost data, and indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, whether or not we were told such damage was possible.

To the extent a monetary cap is enforceable, our aggregate liability will not exceed the Supporter fees you paid in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow parts of these exclusions; where that is so, they apply only as far as the law there allows, and nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

These terms may change as the public record expands, coverage changes, or account and other product features change. The effective date above is the record of the version you are reading.

When they change, the effective date at the top of this page changes with them. A change that materially affects readers will be flagged on the site itself and may also be noted in the optional newsletter; subscription is never required to receive the current terms here. Continuing to use the site after a revision means accepting the revised terms.

Plainly: there is no general contact address yet. The only mailbox that exists is security@ourelectedportfolios.com, and it is a security-report inbox — vulnerabilities in this site, and nothing else. Corrections, press questions, licensing requests, and legal notices sent there may not reach anyone, so please do not use it for them.

The contact page goes through that request by request and says which ones have a route today. It carries no form, for the same reason this section names no support address: there is nowhere for a submission to go.

The address that matters most for a site like this one — a corrections route for a figure that disagrees with the filing it claims to come from — does not exist yet either. It ships when does not exist yet. The transaction pages now link to source filings, which makes disagreements checkable, but there is no monitored correction workflow to receive them.
