Such as Warren (from 2008, when she was the Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel), Gillibrand (from 2007, when she was NY-20 Rep), Klobuchar (from 2006, 1 year before she became MN Senator), and Hillary Clinton (from 2000, 1 year before she became NY Senator).

Harris could have done the same by releasing only 2017. However, her 15-year release covers her time in CA politics as well (Klobuchar was also Hennepin County Attorney from 1999-2007, but did not release all her records from that time.)

None of the male 2020 potential or declared candidates--not Inslee, Biden, or Sanders, and especially not Trump--released all the records aligning with their time in national politics.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
