Jim Jordan
Jim Jordan (R-OH-4), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has a financial-disclosure record that shows little active securities trading: the only STOCK Act transaction prominently reported is his wife's October sale of up to $100,000 in Central Bancshares stock, which she had inherited from her late mother, disclosed roughly one month late in violation of the STOCK Act's deadline (per NOTUS). Public net-worth estimates derived from his disclosures are modest (commonly cited around $200K-$365K), with no documented growth pattern beyond salary and ordinary returns. His campaign finance record drew FEC scrutiny for nearly $3 million in reporting discrepancies (attributed by his campaign to a former treasurer's double-reporting errors), and in 2025-2026 watchdog groups (Campaign Legal Center, POGO) alleged that a $250,000 contribution from private-prison contractor GEO Group reached a Jordan-aligned PAC shortly after immigration-detention funding he supported passed; these are disclosure and correlation allegations, not proof of quid pro quo. His missed-vote rate (about 2.1% over his career) matches the median for sitting representatives, indicating no pattern of absenteeism tied to fundraising. No reporting was found documenting personal-benefit spending of campaign funds or family lobbying tied to his office.

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 →

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.
