Three ways to watch Congress

Tracking Trading in Congress.

Members of Congress may legally trade individual stocks, including in the very industries their own committees oversee. We pull every disclosed trade, match it to the committees a member sits on, and flag where the two overlap. Every row links to the official filing.

Apparent conflicts

Traded a sector they oversee.

11 members traded a single stock in a sector a committee they sit on oversees. Open a member for the trades.

Why these are all senators

The flag tests only the trades a filing marks as the member’s own. The Senate feed carries that owner code; the House Clerk feed does not, so House trades cannot yet be tested for this overlap. That is a limit of the disclosure format, not evidence that House members have none.

How these are counted

A member’s own trades in a single stock whose sector a committee they sit on oversees. Funds and family-member trades are excluded, and committee membership is matched to the current roster. This is where duty and holding overlap. It is not a finding that either was traded on.

Late disclosure

Who files late.

The STOCK Act gives a member up to 45 days to disclose a trade. These members blew past that most often, by share of their trades and by count.

86%of voters want it banned

Support for banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks, across both parties. Members may still legally trade today.
