#55 of 193 scored

Bernie Moreno (R-OH), a former luxury auto-dealership magnate and crypto entrepreneur, took office in January 2025 and sits on the Senate Banking Committee (including its Digital Assets subcommittee). His individual-stock trading is light: STOCK Act filings show roughly $65K in parsed trades, most notably a sale of up to $50K of Mobile Infrastructure Corp ($BEEP) in March 2025, and a February 2026 CNN analysis named him among ten senators whose trades overlapped industries their committees oversee. The most substantial accountability signal is campaign-finance correlation: a pro-crypto super PAC network (Fairshake/Defend American Jobs) spent about $40M to elect him over crypto-skeptic Sherrod Brown, after which Moreno joined Banking and actively advanced the GENIUS and CLARITY crypto bills — alignment, not proof of a quid pro quo. On routine integrity measures he scores well: he had perfect Senate vote attendance in 2025 (one of only two senators) and has missed about 5 of 840 votes overall, with no documented campaign-fund personal use or office-tied family lobbying contracts.

How the score breaks down

Stock self-trading
25% weight
28
Low individual-stock volume (~$65K parsed trades, ~$553K public assets), with one notable $BEEP (Mobile Infrastructure Corp) sale up to $50K in March 2025. CNN named him among 10 senators whose trades overlapped committee-regulated industries, creating a conflict-of-interest perception, but volume and evidence of market-beating timing are limited.
Net-worth enrichment in officeno data
15% weight
—
Moreno entered the Senate in Jan 2025 with a pre-existing nine-figure auto-dealership fortune (disclosed range ~$44M-$250M; ~$139M est.). With only ~1.5 years in office and pre-office wealth excluded by rubric, there is no measurable enrichment beyond salary/market to score.
Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo
20% weight
55
CORRELATION, NOT PROOF: A pro-crypto super PAC network (Fairshake / Defend American Jobs) spent ~$40M to elect Moreno over crypto-skeptic Sherrod Brown. Moreno then joined the Banking Committee's Digital Assets subcommittee and actively shepherded the GENIUS and CLARITY crypto bills — strong industry-money-to-aligned-action overlap, though no direct quid pro quo is established.
Campaign-fund personal useno data
15% weight
—
No documented misuse of campaign or leadership-PAC funds for personal benefit was found. Moreno self-funded large personal loans to his campaign (e.g., $1.2M in 2024), which is not personal use of donor funds. No leadership-PAC personal-spending findings located.
Revolving door & family
15% weight
12
No evidence of family lobbying or government contracts tied to Moreno's office, nor a documented staff-to-lobbyist pipeline. There is a notable family political tie — his son-in-law is Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) — and he invested in a dealership run by his son, but neither involves office-leveraged lobbying or contracts. Minimal score reflects the family proximity only.
Skips the job to fundraise
10% weight
3
Clean record: Moreno had perfect attendance for all 659 roll-call votes in 2025 (one of only two senators) and has missed about 5 of 840 votes (0.6%) overall through mid-2026 — well above the Senate median. No reports of heavy paid speeches displacing official duties.
