#24 of 193 scored

Bill Hagerty (R-TN), a former private-equity executive and U.S. ambassador to Japan, entered the Senate in 2021 already very wealthy (estimated $13.9M-$78M range; ~$54M per one aggregator). He does trade individual stocks: his office disclosed a Signature Bank sale from his dependent children's trusts (Dec 2021) roughly seven months late, a STOCK Act violation his office blamed on a "clerical error" by the family's investment firm. He sits on the Senate Banking Committee, and a Feb 2026 CNN analysis named him among senators owning stock in industries their committees regulate, raising conflict-of-interest perception (correlation, not proof of misconduct). His Senate missed-vote rate (~5.7%) runs above the chamber median. No public records were found of campaign/PAC personal-use abuse or family-lobbying/revolving-door arrangements tied to his office; those components score as insufficient data rather than as findings.

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 →

Stock self-tradinghousehold / spouse
25% weight

Hagerty holds and trades individual stocks (including a Signature Bank sale from his children's trusts, $45K-$150K, Dec 2021). The sale was disclosed ~7 months late, a STOCK Act violation his office attributed to the family's investment firm. CNN (Feb 2026) named him among senators owning stock in sectors their committees regulate; he sits on Banking, which oversees banks like Signature (which later failed March 2023). Trades are legal and he denies personal control of the portfolio; elevated for committee-sector overlap plus a disclosure violation, but exact volume/returns not fully quantified.

Net-worth enrichment in officeno data

Hagerty entered the Senate already wealthy from a private-equity career (Hagerty Peterson) and prior ambassadorship; pre-office wealth is not scored. Aggregators estimate ~$54M with a wide disclosed range ($13.9M-$78M). No source isolates net-worth growth during tenure beyond salary/market returns, so no abnormal in-office enrichment can be substantiated. Absence is not penalized.

CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. As a Senate Banking Committee member and active sponsor of crypto/financial-market-structure legislation, Hagerty's policy portfolio aligns with finance-sector interests, and finance is among his donor industries per OpenSecrets. No specific donation-to-vote quid pro quo is documented; this reflects routine industry-aligned positioning common to Banking members, not evidence of corruption.

No documented family lobbying tied to his office or staff-to-lobbyist pipeline was found. Hagerty co-founded the private-equity firm Hagerty Peterson before office, but that is pre-Senate business activity, not a revolving-door arrangement leveraging his current office. Absence is not penalized.

GovTrack records Hagerty missing 140 of 2,458 roll-call votes (5.7%) from Jan 2021-June 2026, above the ~2.8% median for currently serving senators. GovTrack does not attribute reasons, and no evidence links the absences specifically to fundraising or paid speeches, so the elevated rate is the only substantiated signal.
