In 2024, Rep. Nancy Pelosi achieved a 54% return on her stock portfolio, outperforming hedge funds. Despite a reported salary of $223,000, Pelosi’s net worth exceeds $264 million, making her the richest woman in Congress. Other members, like Rep. Ro Khanna, have also been active in trading, despite advocating for a ban on stock trading in Congress. Rep. Cleo Fields has made significant trades in companies like NVIDIA and Microsoft, surpassing former top trader Rep. Michael McCaul. Lawmakers, including Rep. Robert Bresnahan, sold shares of Centene Corp before a Trump-endorsed tax package caused stock to plummet 50%.
The STOCK Act of 2012 requires Congress members to disclose trades publicly, but tracking these transactions can be challenging. Barchart offers a Political Insider Trading tool to easily search, filter, and analyze politicians’ trades. The tool allows users to search by politician name, see transaction values, filter by buys or sells, and track trade activity over time. It provides a simple way to stay informed on political stock trading activities.
