State lawmakers were required to file financial disclosure statements in mid-June that show not only what property and assets they have but which lobbyists interacted with them.

Although specific dollar amounts didn’t accompany most of the disclosures, lawmakers and their partners are required to report their finances thanks to a 2023 state law created to keep elected officials accountable to the public.

Today, The Oakland Press will report what is in the disclosure statements for state senators representing Oakland County districts. On Tuesday, we’ll go through reports for the county’s state representatives.

The law sets minimum standards for financial disclosure for people elected to state office and for those running to win state seats, including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, senators and representatives.

The filing deadline is May 15 each year, but this year lawmakers moved the deadline to June 15 to deal with a technical error that created filing problems. While some privacy is allowed, the law requires candidates and elected officials to report lobbying interactions, loans, stocks or other investment accounts over $1,000, along with employment income for candidates, officials and their partners.

They also must say if they have any interest in current or future state contracts or employment plans for lobby firms or state contractors when they leave office. None were reported.

A first look showed a coin collection worth more than $1,000, rental properties, investment and retirement accounts, meals and drinks with lobbying firms and side hustles.

Michigan senators are paid $71,685 a year and can receive up to $10,800 more per year for lodging, meals and incidental expenses. None of the lawmakers listed a blind trust — a financial arrangement that separates an elected official from accounts managed by a second party. Blind trusts are meant to prevent conflicts of interest.
