#58 of 193 scored
Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-CA-31) is a Navy veteran who won a $266M lottery jackpot in 2010. He served one House term from 2019 to 2021 and returned in 2025, sitting on Armed Services and Small Business. His account is among the most active in the House: 1,588 trades since January 2025, worth an estimated $15.8M to $56M, including repeated trades in defense contractors such as Palantir, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and RTX. More than 50 of those trades were reported days or weeks late in 2025-26, and he says an adviser manages his investments. His wealth predates office, his donors are diversified, and he has missed almost no votes. No ethics findings were found.

65
Greederboard's parse of 20 PTRs (Jan 2025 to Aug 2026) shows 1,588 transactions worth an estimated $15.8M to $56M, all owned by Cisneros. Most are individual stocks; the rest include municipal bonds. He sits on House Armed Services and repeatedly traded defense names, including Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and RTX. Sixty-four trades in two filings were up to 19 days past the 45-day deadline. He says an adviser manages his money. Very high volume with clear committee-sector overlap, partly offset by the managed account and short delays.

His wealth comes from a $266M Mega Millions jackpot in 2010, years before he first ran for Congress. His 2025 report lists assets of at least about $19M to $61M, summed from disclosed ranges, plus a $5M-$25M mortgage and a $1M-$5M margin loan. NOTUS put his median net worth at $65.9M entering 2025. The wealth predates office.

This shows correlation, not proof. Itemized 2024 PAC money (about $273K) came mostly from unions, health groups, fellow members' committees and Democratic PACs. Defense-contractor PACs gave little, about $3,000 from General Dynamics and Textron, despite his Armed Services seat. PAC receipts in 2025-26 rose to $453,650 of $705,263, which is typical for a returning incumbent.
2024 PAC donors to Cisneros for Congress are led by Pac to the Future, Ameripac, VoteVets ($10,000 each) and labor unions; General Dynamics and Textron PACs gave $1,000-$2,000.Reference databaseprojects.propublica.org ↗FEC 2026 cycle (through June 30, 2026): $705,263 receipts, $453,650 from other committees.Official recordfec.gov ↗
