#177 of 193 scored

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA4), in office since 2007, has one of the lowest net worths in Congress (estimated at roughly $0 to slightly negative in recent years) and no tracked individual-stock trading activity, making stock-related self-dealing metrics inapplicable. His campaign is heavily PAC-funded (~80% of 2023-24 receipts), with transportation unions and Cox Enterprises among top donors, which correlates loosely with his Transportation and Judiciary committee work, but no documented quid-pro-quo exists. His only notable ethics matters are a 2021 protest-arrest fine (closed by the Ethics Committee) and a 2020 watchdog complaint alleging improper use of his official website to aid Jon Ossoff; neither resulted in major sanctions. Missed votes (3.7% lifetime) are modestly above the chamber median but not paired with heavy paid outside activity. Overall this is a comparatively low-risk profile.

The stock-trading ban

No
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.
