A good start, but their profiles are probably incredibly well scrubbed (or whatever is out there is already mitigated).

Instead, collect it on every Congressperson and then see how fast things change. Most politicians don't have the means to scrub their backgrounds like multi-million dollar PR-vulnerable CEOs.

I have serious doubts about this.

Congresspeople are also all multimillionaires who are PR vulnerable.

As of 2011, the average Senator had a net worth of $14 million and the average Representative had a net worth of $6.5 million.

Presumably it has only gone up in the decade since, given the long bull market in everything.

Seems more likely that those same Congresspersons (Congresspeople?) will try to stomp you out of existence, before making any changes to the law.

I don't imagine people with such amount of power and connections to just roll over because "they caught us with the hand in the cookie jar!"

They did that, twice. Panama and Pandora papers (2016, 2021).

It's probably faster to buy data on members of Congress. I assume that's where things likt the Video Privacy Protection Act came from.
