#158 of 193 scored

Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR-1), in office since 2011, chairs the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and is a senior member of the House Agriculture and Transportation & Infrastructure Committees. Public records show essentially no individual-stock trading: no STOCK Act periodic transaction reports appear on trade trackers, and OpenSecrets estimates his net worth near zero, consistent with a disclosure profile dominated by a home mortgage and modest assets rather than a market portfolio. His top campaign donors are agribusiness/crop-production interests, which overlaps his Agriculture Committee role — a correlation, not proof of self-dealing. No evidence of campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying, or notable fundraising-vs-job conflicts surfaced; his 3.5% lifetime missed-vote rate is modestly above the chamber median but unremarkable. Overall this is a relatively low self-dealing profile on the available record.

The stock-trading ban

H.R. 7008 passage, Jul 22, 2026
Yes
Cosponsored a ban bill
None

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.

Net-worth enrichment in office
15% weight
0

35
CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Crawford's top industry donor is crop production/agribusiness (~$91k in 2024 cycle; ~67% PAC-funded), directly overlapping his senior Agriculture Committee role and Farm Bill work. Sector-donor/committee alignment is typical of an ag-district member; no specific quid-pro-quo evidence found.
