can you regress the senator returns against the market returns to strip out the market

Hi Alexandra, this is a great suggestion! We're still figuring out what the right set of benchmarks for "market" returns are -- right now we use the S&P 500, but are also considering alternatives like passive age-appropriate target date funds and portfolios constructed using Fama-French factor weights. But we will ultimately add a panel that shows abnormal returns for each official as you suggest.
