My member of Congress’s chief of staff seems to be making only a few thousand dollars each quarter. How can that be?
Often, chairmen of committees have a chief of staff for their personal office who also draws a considerable salary from the committee. Therefore, to see a more accurate picture of what this person makes, you must add the personal office salary to the committee salary. One advantage LegiStorm provides that the original hard-copy records do not is that you can click on a staffer’s salary page and see the entire salary history, including all work for personal offices and committees.
