Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) presents a record with little evidence of personal financial self-dealing across most rubric categories. Public trackers and disclosures show no individual securities trades by her household, and she has co-sponsored multiple bills to ban congressional stock trading; her disclosed net worth remains modest (commonly estimated under ~$125K), with student-loan debt and bank/retirement accounts rather than market wealth. Her campaign finance profile is unusual in being dominated by small-dollar donors (~70% in 2024) with negligible PAC money (~0.3%) and no corporate PAC contributions, limiting industry-money concentration concerns, though one outlet has reported some lobbyist-affiliated individual donations despite her no-lobbyist-cash pledge. The two substantive accountability findings are a July 2025 House Ethics Committee determination that she "impermissibly accepted gifts" at the 2021 Met Gala (ordered to pay ~$3,000; found not knowing or willful), and a March 2026 partisan-watchdog FEC/OCC complaint alleging ~$18,725 in 2025 campaign payments to a psychiatrist were misreported personal-benefit spending — an unadjudicated allegation. Her voting attendance (~1.9% missed votes) is in line with the chamber median, and no credible record of family lobbying or a staff-to-lobbyist pipeline tied to her office was found. Overall the sourced record points to low self-dealing, with the Met Gala gift finding being the only adjudicated violation.

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.
