Method and sources

Every row on this page is read from an OGE Form 278-T periodic transaction report published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The reports are scanned or e-filed PDFs; Tracked Money reads each row's asset, type, trade date and amount range, and matches company names to ticker symbols. Rows it cannot match (bonds, funds, unmatched names) are kept with the name as filed. The filing date is the day OGE posted the report, the first day anyone could read it.
