House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology: do its members trade what it oversees?
40 current members of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology disclosed 162 trades in industries the committee oversees (Tech, Defense, Energy) since the 119th Congress began (January 3, 2025): 11 members, $1.4M–$5M in total. All told they disclosed 1,126 trades.
Disclosed trades in industries the committee oversees
Weighted by dollars, 15% of these members' trading in individual companies is in Tech, Defense, Energy. If each had traded like the rest of Congress, about 56% would be, so 0.27× what chance predicts. That comparison covers 14 members with company trades. How the comparison works.

Overlap between a member's trades and their committee's jurisdiction is a conflict-of-interest signal, not evidence that any trade used nonpublic information.
Committee assignments are 119th-Congress seats, so only trades dated on or after January 3, 2025 count, and for a member who arrived later, only trades from the start of their current service. A committee change during the Congress can still put a trade on the wrong side of a seat. Subcommittees aren't counted. Amounts are the disclosed ranges; the dollar range adds up each trade's low and high ends. Trades are periodic transaction reports for the member and, where disclosed, a spouse or dependent child. This window differs from /explore/conflicts/, which counts all trades since January 2024, so the two pages' figures won't match.
