Just like it says. We’ve heard a lot lately about who the richest senators are, so now I’m curious who the poorest are (as in having the least money).

I’ve found articles that list the richest, but they all just say that 10 Senators reported a net worth below $100,000 but didn’t report their names.

Russ Feingold on his website says that his net worth is around $136,000.

I haven’t seen a convenient list, but [here](http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/) are scanned copies of personal finance disclosures.
