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.
One octagon for each phase of the life of Rosa DeLauro. 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.

Fiscal
-0.5
CBO scored the House-passed bill as FY2022 supplemental appropriations for Ukraine and related humanitarian aid, designated as emergency requirements under the FY2022 budget resolution, and CRS counts $40.15 billion provided in the enacted law. It is a one-time addition to deficits rather than a recurring commitment, so the long-run fiscal effect is small but negative.

Growth
+0.5
CBO's October 29, 2025 analysis of a lapse in appropriations estimated that a 4- to 8-week shutdown would cut annualized Q4 2025 real GDP growth by 1.0 to 2.0 percentage points, with most of the loss later recovered but $7 billion to $14 billion of output permanently lost. It continues FY2022 appropriations through December 3, 2021, avoiding a lapse on October 1, 2021. The avoided loss is small relative to GDP and temporary in scope, so the benefit is scored modestly.
