Alex Padilla
Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) presents a notably clean financial-accountability profile. His disclosed assets are dominated by diversified funds, ETFs, and a CalPERS pension, with essentially no active individual-stock trading and only one individual equity holding (Bank of America). His estimated net worth (~$85K as of late 2025) is among the lowest in the Senate and shows no enrichment beyond salary. His voting attendance (2.9% missed) is at the Senate median, and no public records document campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying tied to his office, or net-worth red flags. His donor base is diffuse and individual-donor-heavy; the lawyers/law-firms industry leads contributions, which is correlation only and not evidence of self-dealing.

The stock-trading ban
H.R. 7008 bans new stock purchases by members, spouses and dependents; it doesn't force sales of existing holdings. The Senate vote was on the version paired with the SAVE Act, which is why no Democrat voted yes. Full breakdown →
Disclosed stock trades
No periodic transaction reports on file since 2024. That's the norm: most members don't trade individual stocks, or hold them in blind trusts and diversified funds.
Amounts are the ranges members must report, not exact values. The STOCK Act requires a report within 45 days of a trade; "late" counts days past that deadline, measured to the filing date.
