Good stuff. I recommend indexing to the SP500 so that it’s obvious when senators beat the market in a way that warrants further investigation.

There is a toggle for the S&P500 you can select, but definitely agree that this should show up as a default to make it clear.

One thing we've noticed is that most senators don't beat the S&P500, but the main reason seems to be that they simply have less risky portfolios (e.g. a lot of bond ETFs)
