Gwen Moore
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI-4), in office since 2005 and a member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, is among the least wealthy members of Congress, with disclosures showing negative-to-near-zero net worth and no individual-stock trading, so the self-dealing concerns most common to wealthy members (stock trades, net-worth enrichment) do not apply to her. Her most documented accountability issue is her leadership PAC, GWEN PAC, which drew formal ethics complaints from the Campaign Legal Center (2021) and the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (2024) alleging it functioned as a "scam PAC," spending the large majority of funds on operating costs, food and travel (including payments to her sister) rather than on candidates; the FEC voted to dismiss the personal-use allegations and closed the matter in February 2025. She also has an elevated missed-vote rate (6.4% in 2023-24, highest in Wisconsin's delegation; 4.8% lifetime vs. a 2.1% median). Overall her record shows no evidence of trading-based or wealth-based self-dealing, with the leadership-PAC spending pattern the only notable—though officially unresolved/dismissed—concern.

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.
