Read the full summary
He does not own or trade individual stocks and has co-sponsored multiple congressional stock-trading bans (ETHICS Act, Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act), and his disclosed net worth is modest (roughly $167K–$430K in 2023), dominated by savings accounts and a state pension rather than market assets. He pledged to refuse corporate PAC money in his 2020 Senate run; industry money correlations exist but no specific quid-pro-quo is documented. He missed 12 of 915 roll-call votes in the 119th Congress (1.3%, below the 2.2% Senate median).

The stock-trading ban
H.R. 7008 bans new stock purchases by members, spouses and dependents; it doesn't force sales of existing holdings. In the Senate it carried SAVE Act voter-ID language, and Democrats also called it too weak because members keep the stock they already own; no Democrat voted yes. Full breakdown →
Disclosed trades stocks, options, bonds
No periodic transaction reports on file since January 2025. That's the norm: most members don't trade individual stocks, or hold them in blind trusts and diversified funds.
