Official portrait of Amy Klobuchar

Amy Klobuchar

D Democrat · Senator, Minnesota
17
Low self-dealing
3/6 components have data
#125 of 193 scored

Klobuchar has no documented individual stock trades and co-sponsored the STOCK Act, presenting a clean record on personal market activity. The most-cited accountability concern is the revolving door: trackers report she has employed numerous former/future lobbyists and that staff have moved to firms like Apple, and she was a registered lobbyist herself before the Senate. These are common in Washington and are not evidence of illegality. On stock-based self-dealing she scores low; revolving-door indicators are her most notable flag.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
No
Cosponsored a ban bill
S. 1879

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.
