Official portrait of John Barrasso

John Barrasso

R Republican · Senator, Wyoming
25
Moderate self-dealing
2/6 components have data
#72 of 193 scored

Barrasso's disclosed portfolio is dominated by broad index and mutual funds (Vanguard total-market/bond/Wellington) with limited individual-stock exposure, and trackers show little active trading. As a longtime fossil-fuel advocate now serving as Majority Whip and a senior Energy/Environment figure, his voting record aligns with the oil-and-gas industry that is among his top donors — a correlation OpenSecrets documents, not proof of quid pro quo. No public reporting surfaced on campaign-fund personal use or revolving-door enrichment. His main accountability flag is donor/policy alignment in energy.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
Yes
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.

Correlation, not proof. Oil & gas is among his top donor industries (OpenSecrets reports $585K+ over 2012-2017), and his record consistently favors fossil fuels and opposes climate regulation while holding senior energy/environment roles. No quid pro quo asserted.
