Earnings by year3
What each year added up to: salary, plus outside income, royalties, endorsements, prizes and investment income where a source reports them. A financial disclosure gives ranges, shown as such.
Book royalties, "Do What You Said You Would Do" (Post Hill Press, 2021)[5]
$201 – $1,000
A disclosure gives a range; its bar is drawn at the middle of the range.
Stock trades1
Securities trades disclosed under the STOCK Act in periodic transaction reports. A report gives each amount as a range, never an exact figure, and members may file up to 45 days after a trade, so this is never live. Each row links to the filing it was read from.
One octagon for each phase of the life of Jim Jordan. Each of the eight axes is scored 0 to 5 against a written rubric from documented evidence, with its source; an axis without evidence is a gap, not a zero. There is no total and no ideal shape: it is a profile, not a ranking. Appearance and personality are not axes, because they cannot be scored from evidence.
OverviewGenerated from documented data: the office held, income against IRS percentiles, the highest recorded degree, and the reviewed legal record. Axes with no documented evidence are left out.
No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.
