#168 of 193 scored

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), in office since 2023, presents a comparatively clean self-dealing profile across the public record. His disclosed financial holdings are broad-market index funds and ETFs (e.g., SPDR S&P 500 SPY, Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF) plus US Treasury notes, with no evidence of individual single-stock trading under the STOCK Act; aggregators list essentially no periodic transaction reports. His estimated net worth is modest (~$1.0M, ranked roughly 291st in Congress), and his roll-call attendance is strong (about 2.6% missed votes, near the Senate median). As with all members, industry-donor concentration and aligned committee votes exist (correlation, not proof of corruption), but no documented campaign-fund personal use, family-lobbying contracts, or quid-pro-quo were found in available public records.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 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.

How the score breaks down

Net-worth enrichment in office
15% weight
5
Net worth estimated ~$1.0M (ranked ~291st in Congress), flat across mid-2025 estimates; 2023 disclosure range roughly -$41k to $1.03M. No evidence of growth beyond salary plus market gains over his short tenure (2023-present).

Correlation, not proof. Schmitt sits on Commerce, Armed Services, Judiciary (Antitrust/Constitution chair) and Joint Economic committees, sectors (telecom, defense, tech) that routinely fund senators. Standard donor-vote alignment exists but no documented quid pro quo in public records.
Campaign-fund personal useno data
15% weight

Revolving door & familyno data
15% weight
—
No public records found tying family members to lobbying or contracts connected to his office, nor a documented staff-to-lobbyist pipeline. Absence of data; not penalized.

10% weight
5
Strong attendance: missed 39 of 1,520 roll-call votes (2.6%) Feb 2023-Jun 2026, near the Senate median (~2.8%). Active fundraising (~$2.7M receipts Jan 2025-Mar 2026) is normal; no evidence missed votes were tied to fundraising or paid speeches.
