Senator, Colorado
Michael F. Bennet
Democrat. In Congress since 2009. Age 61. Term ends January 2029.
Not on the 2026 ballot. The seat is next up in 2028.
Raised: campaign receipts in the 2017-2022 term, from FEC filings. Stock trades: every trade disclosed on a periodic report, ranked against the Senate. Floor votes: the roll calls Curia has recorded for Bennet on the bills it reads in plain language, including rolls they missed. Bills written: measures Bennet sponsored in the 119th Congress. The median is the middle sitting member of the Senate. The Senate has no median for money raised: each senator's campaign covers a different window.

The polled measures are the key bills behind the issues Americans care about most, where a poll shows what each party’s voters want. A row counts Bennet’s floor vote where one exists and cosponsorship otherwise, on the measures the Senate can act on. No recorded action is not opposition. Each issue opens in the Issues lens with every bill and how both parties split.

Each mark is one of the 100 senators sitting today, placed by how often they vote with each other rather than by anything we think of them. DW-NOMINATE, the standard academic measure, computed by Voteview at UCLA over the 119th Congress and read here as of August 2026. It is built only from recorded votes: 803 of them for Bennet. It says who votes together, not who is right.

FEC-disclosed receipts for the 2017-2022 term. “Small” means contributions from donors who gave $200 or less in total, which the FEC does not require to be itemized.
This is the disclosed money only. Spending by outside groups that do not reveal their donors, the dark money that set a record in 2024, never appears in these figures.
Every percentage here is a share of all receipts, not of individual contributions only. So the small-donor share counts transfers, loans and other money in its base, and reads lower than figures that divide only by individual money.
FEC filings read October 31, 2026.

An organization reaches a member two ways. Its own PAC writes a direct check. And it bundles: it gathers individual donations from its supporters and routes them through its conduit. Both count here as one “organized” total. The bundled part is already inside the individual giving shown in the funding mix above. Here it is regrouped by the organization that gathered it, so you can see who did the organizing. Bennet received so many small earmarked donations that these figures count only the largest ones. Read every total as “at least.”
Money an organization gave through its PAC or bundled from its people to Bennet’s campaign, the 2017-2022 term, largest first. Showing the top 15 of 296 organizations with a stake. Leadership PACs are the personal PACs colleagues use to build support. Source: FEC filings, as of October 2026.

Outside groups also spend on their own to elect or defeat Bennet, running ads for or against the race. This money never passes through the campaign, so it is counted apart from the money organized for Bennet. Whether a dollar supported or opposed Bennet is the group’s own filing, never our reading.
The colour names the side the money helps: spending to elect Bennet helps Bennet’s party, and spending to defeat Bennet helps the other side. The totals cover every group that spent; the list shows the largest.

By year
The least each year’s forms allow, 2009 to 2025
Each column is one counted year, drawn at its floor: the smallest amount the form allows, so the true figure is this much or more. The mint column is the latest counted year. A dashed outline is a year in office that is not counted, never a zero.
Income by kind
Each kind’s share of the least the forms allow, 2013 to 2025.
- Investment income100%$4,556,522
- Books and royalties<1%$7,500
Outside pay is read line by line from the form and grouped by the filer’s own type word, to the dollar. Investment income is reported in ranges, so its row counts the smallest amount each range allows: the true figure is this much or more. Only counted years enter. A kind with nothing reported has no row. Social Security is its own kind and is drawn in Other.
Who paid

Amounts are the exact figures printed on counted forms, added across the years each payer appears. Spelling variants of one payer are merged into a single name. Investment income is reported in ranges with no payer, so it does not appear here. A spouse’s or dependent’s pay is never counted, even where the form prints an amount.
Net worth
Disclosed assets and liabilities, each as the range Bennet’s 2025 annual filing allows, never netted.
Disclosed assets

Disclosed liabilities

The average adds each counted year’s smallest possible amount beyond salary and divides by the years counted. A year not counted is left out, never counted as zero. Outside pay is exact; investment income is reported in ranges and counts at least its lowest end. The typical member is the median of the 485 members’ own yearly averages. Joint, spouse and dependent holdings stay combined as filed. Tax-deferred accounts alone give no income amount.
The annual rate set by law for the latest year in office: $174,000. A first year is paid by days, so it is smaller. Salary is separate from every figure beyond it.
Each link opens the filing on the official site, a year at a time.
These are the lower and upper bounds of the ranges on the filing, not a market valuation. Assets and liabilities are shown separately and are never netted into a net worth. How these bands are read
Annual financial disclosure reports filed with the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate; salary from the Congressional Research Service (97-1011).

The votes Bennet cast on the bills this site reads and writes up, not every roll call the chamber took. A position is the member’s own recorded vote on that bill’s passage. Broke with party marks a vote cast against the majority of Bennet’s own party; it is never set for a vote of present, a missed vote, an independent, or a party evenly split. Each party’s bar fills with the share of its members who voted yea, beside its yea and nay count. A not voting mark means Bennet was not recorded on that roll call. Members miss votes for many reasons, from travel to illness to leadership duties.

The sponsor is the member who introduced the measure, a different act from cosponsoring somebody else’s. A resolution that its chamber, or both chambers, agreed to has finished its process and is filed under Adopted.
Where the stage and place are the same for the rows shown, a row gives the number of members listed as cosponsors of the measure in the same bulk data instead.
The stage on each measure is the furthest point the record states it reached, and the date is when it reached it. A measure that stops at a stage has not necessarily ended: text is regularly folded into another vehicle that moves on under a different number, and the record against this number simply stops being written. Nothing here counts, names or ranks what did not happen.
Committee stages come from dated committee activities. Passage, presentation and veto stages come from the measure’s own actions; law records identify enactment. The date beside the bill number belongs to the stage shown below.

Sponsored and cosponsored
479 measures in the 119th Congress: 84 sponsored, 395 cosponsored.
Cosponsoring puts a member’s name on a text. It is a public position, not a vote, and not a promise of one.
Most cosponsorships are signed when the measure is introduced; a row says so only when the name was added later, or withdrawn.
A policy area that does not appear here is one Bennet has not put a name on in this Congress. That is silence, not opposition, and it is left blank rather than counted.
The Library of Congress files each measure under one policy area; the shares cover the 479 of 479 measures on this record that carry one. It adds finer legislative subjects to only part of the corpus: the subjects cover 155 of 479, and show the 10 most common of 376. 1 cosponsorship was later withdrawn; its row stays, because a withdrawal is an event in the record.

Rein In Drug Middlemen
Reins in the pharmacy benefit managers who sit between drugmakers and pharmacies. It curbs tactics like “spread pricing,” requires PBMs to pass manufacturer rebates through to health plans, and unlinks their pay from a drug's list price.

Democrats 27%, Republicans 30%. Cosponsored it, share of today’s members. Benchmark Drug Prices to Other Countries
Compares brand-name drug prices against what five peer countries pay. If a U.S. price is judged “excessive,” the government strips the drug's market exclusivity and licenses generic competitors to force the price down.

Each marked row names what the member did: sponsored or cosponsored a bill carrying the reform, signed a discharge petition to force one to the floor, or cosponsored a prior version in a previous Congress while still serving today. Not on record means there is no documented signal. The member may still support or oppose; we have no evidence either way. Floor votes are not yet wired in, so nobody is marked Opposes.
Several reforms have bills carried almost entirely by one party. That makes the headline percentage a measure of cosponsorship on these specific bills, not a measure of underlying agreement with the reform. A 0% figure for one party often means “has not cosponsored this vehicle,” not “opposes the reform.”
A matching prior Congress cosponsorship also counts. No documented cosponsorship is not opposition.
