#50 of 193 scored
Jerry Moran is an active individual-stock investor whose disclosures show a STOCK Act compliance lapse (an unreported 2021 Costco sale of up to $30,000) and committee-sector overlap, as he holds tech equities like Alphabet while serving on the Commerce Committee and chairing the Appropriations CJS subcommittee — a correlation, not proof of wrongdoing. His net worth roughly doubled from about $777,000 (2011) to a $1M-$2.8M range (2023), broadly consistent with market appreciation of pre-existing oil/gas, insurance, and securities assets rather than demonstrable office-driven enrichment. No FEC personal-use enforcement actions or family-lobbying contracts surfaced, though a longtime chief of staff moved to a lobbying firm (Ogilvy) — a common revolving-door pattern. His lifetime missed-vote rate of 7.6% is notably above the Senate median of 2.8%, the clearest negative data point on the job-attendance metric.

How the score breaks down
Stock self-tradinghousehold / spouse
25% weight
45
Active individual-stock trader (Alphabet, Berkshire, Costco, Exxon, plus ETFs/funds). Committee-sector overlap: holds tech equities while on Commerce Committee and chairing Appropriations CJS subcommittee. Documented STOCK Act lapse: an up-to-$30,000 Costco sale (Jan 27, 2021) by Moran and spouse went unreported in a required PTR. No published market-beating-return analysis found.

Net worth roughly doubled from ~$777,000 (2011) to a disclosed $1M-$2.8M range (2023). Growth is broadly consistent with market appreciation of pre-office assets (oil/gas, Hanston Insurance Agency, Exxon, securities); no evidence of growth beyond salary+market returns. Pre-office wealth not scored.
Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo
20% weight

CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Moran chairs the Appropriations CJS subcommittee and sits on Commerce; he sponsors AI/tech and small-business legislation while holding tech equities and receiving industry contributions. No specific quid-pro-quo evidence; alignment reflects ordinary committee-jurisdiction and home-state (aviation/ag) interests.

Moran's longtime chief of staff moved to lobbying firm Ogilvy Government Relations (2017) — a standard staff-to-lobbyist pipeline. No evidence of family members lobbying or contracts tied to his office.

10% weight
35
Lifetime missed-vote rate of 7.6% (414 of 5,432 roll calls, 1997-2026), markedly above the 2.8% median of current senators. No evidence of heavy paid-speech income; elevated score driven by the attendance gap alone.
