Danny K. Davis
Danny K. Davis (D-IL7), in the House since 1997 and a member of the Ways and Means Committee, presents a notably clean financial profile. He has no record of individual-stock STOCK Act trading, and his estimated net worth is among the lowest in Congress (roughly $264K in 2017 rising to ~$484K-520K in 2025-26), consistent with congressional salary and savings rather than enrichment. The most concrete accountability item is a January 2024 House Ethics Committee complaint by a constituent alleging Davis used official congressional office funds (~$42K in ads) to boost his primary reelection; this is an unadjudicated allegation with no public finding of wrongdoing. His lifetime missed-vote rate (6.0% vs. 2.1% median) is elevated but commonly attributable to age/medical absences, and his fundraising is modest.

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 →
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.
