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 →

Greederboard's parse of 19 PTRs (Feb 2025 to Aug 2026) shows 486 individual-stock transactions in 48 mid-cap names, $4.0M-$15.5M in reported ranges, all owned by trusts for her dependent children and all filed on time. Activity rose in 2026 (78 trades in the Sept. 2026 report alone). Committee overlap is modest; holdings include defense and nuclear names (BWX Technologies, TransDigm) outside her Agriculture and Science panels. She has said a third party holds discretion over trades.
Her first PTR (signed 03/20/2025) lists dependent-child sales and purchases of A.O.

Delaney is among the wealthiest House members, but the wealth predates her 2025 swearing-in: it comes from her husband John Delaney's banking career (Forbright). Her 2023 candidate report already listed Forbright stock at $25M-$50M. No evidence of growth tied to office.

Correlation, not proof. Her campaigns run on her own money rather than PAC money: in the 2026 cycle through June 2026 she lent $11M against $377K from PACs and $869K from individuals. No reporting tied donors to her official actions.

No FEC or ethics complaint over campaign spending was found. Large self-loans ($14.9M owed to her) are legal; repayment from donor money would be worth watching, but none has been reported.
