United States Congress — Former Members (within 20-year retention)
PEP · classification About PEPs →
PEP roster Former members of the US House and Senate whose service ended within the last 20 years, sourced from the same public-domain Congress-legislators project (compiling the Biographical Directory of the US Congress) used for current members.
A match means this person is a former US federal legislator within the PEP retention window — a due-diligence trigger, not an adverse finding.
