Gregory W. Meeks
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY-05), a senior House Financial Services Committee member and Foreign Affairs Ranking Member, shows no documented individual-stock trading in major trackers, so the stock-trading component scores zero. His record includes substantive, sourced accountability concerns: a 2008 FEC conciliation agreement in which his campaign paid a $63,000 penalty and he personally refunded $16,958 for campaign funds spent on personal expenses (personal trainer, vehicle lease), and a 2012 House Ethics finding that he failed to disclose a $40,000 loan from associate Edul Ahmad for several years (found inadvertent, not willful). Securities and investment industry money is concentrated in his donor base given his Financial Services seat, and he co-sponsors capital-markets legislation aligned with that sector (correlation, not proof of quid pro quo). His lifetime missed-vote rate of roughly 7.3% is notably above the chamber median.

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.
