#150 of 193 scored

Andy Harris (R-MD-01), an anesthesiologist by training and chair of the House Appropriations subcommittee overseeing the FDA and a member of the Labor-HHS subcommittee, has a financial-disclosure profile dominated by index and retirement funds (e.g., Vanguard Target Retirement, CREF equity index) rather than active individual-stock trading, and no STOCK Act periodic-transaction trading pattern surfaced in public trackers. His attendance is strong (about 1.8% missed votes over his career, near the chamber median), and no public reporting documents campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying contracts, or a staff-to-lobbyist pipeline tied to his office. The one notable financial-ethics episode is a 2018 accusation that he failed to disclose his wife's income sources on his financial filing, which his campaign called a mistake and amended. His health-sector campaign money and direct FDA/health appropriations authority represent a correlation worth noting (not proof of self-dealing), but overall the record is relatively clean on self-dealing indicators.

The stock-trading ban

H.R. 7008 passage, Jul 22, 2026
Yes
Cosponsored a ban bill
H.R. 7008

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.

How the score breaks down

Stock self-trading
25% weight
0
No evidence of individual-stock STOCK Act trading. Disclosed holdings are broad index/retirement funds (Vanguard Target Retirement 2020, CREF 403B Equity Index); congressional trade trackers show no individual-stock transaction pattern. Per rubric, 0 when no individual-stock trading.
Net-worth enrichment in officeno data
15% weight
—
Net worth estimated ~$5.6M (2025), 138th in Congress, but public trackers do not provide a reliable year-over-year tenure trend isolating growth beyond salary+market. No documented abnormal enrichment; pre-office physician wealth not scored.
Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo
20% weight
30
CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Harris, a physician, chairs the Appropriations Agriculture-FDA subcommittee and sits on Labor-HHS, giving direct authority over FDA and health funding; health-sector donors are historically prominent among his contributors. No specific quid-pro-quo or vote-buying documented; alignment reflects district/profession overlap.
Campaign-fund personal useno data
15% weight
—
No public reporting documents campaign or leadership-PAC funds spent on personal benefit. FEC committees (Andy Harris for Congress, Harris Action Fund, Andy Harris Victory Fund) exist but no misuse findings surfaced.
Revolving door & family
15% weight
15
No family lobbying contracts or staff-to-lobbyist pipeline tied to his office documented. One financial-ethics flag: a 2018 accusation he failed to disclose his wife's income sources on his filing, which his campaign called a mistake and amended. Minor disclosure lapse, not a contracts/revolving-door enrichment.
Skips the job to fundraise
10% weight
5
Strong attendance: missed 162 of 9,122 roll-call votes (1.8%) Jan 2011-June 2026, near/below the chamber median of ~2.1%. No evidence of vote-skipping for fundraising or paid speeches. Low score reflects solid presence.
