Measures of Candidate Wealth: 2025

Reports filed by candidates for the Virginia House of Delegates are meant to disclose potential conflicts of interest but also provide a look at the wealth of the people running for office. See how Republican and Democratic candidates compare across four different measures, excluding incumbents.

Individual reports for each non-incumbent candidate are available here.

Wealth of 2025 Non-Incumbent House Candidates

Owns Securities Valued Over $400K: Candidates are required to list all stocks, mutual funds, bonds and other securities valued at more than $5,000 on Schedule C. Only a dollar range is reported (e.g. "$5,000 to $50,000"), so exact estimates are not available. VPAP added up the lower number of that range for each candidate's holdings to arrive at a minimum value across all securities. Actual values are likely much higher than this.

Owns Rental Property: Candidates are required to list all rental property on Schedule D. VPAP counted the number of candidates who reported income from renting property.

Has an Ownership Stake in a Business: Candidates are required to report any personal stake of more than $5,000 in any business, partnership or corporation on Schedule D. This category excludes rental property found on Schedule D, which is listed separately in this visual.

Has Debt: Candidates are required to list all liabilities, besides mortgages on their primary residence, greater than $5,000 on Schedule B. VPAP counted the number of candidates who reported at least one debt.
