John Garamendi
John Garamendi (D-CA8) is a senior House member whose disclosed wealth (~$5M, est.) is concentrated in real estate, ranch/cabin property, and bank accounts rather than securities; he holds essentially no live-tracked individual stocks. His only recorded STOCK Act equity activity is three sales filed January 21, 2022 (Meta, Block/XYZ, and Granite Construction) totaling roughly $48,500 — all dispositions. The Granite Construction (infrastructure-sector) sale is a notable correlation point given his seat on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and role in the 2021 infrastructure law, though it was a sale and no causation is established. No public records were found of campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying tied to his office, or revolving-door staff issues; his missed-vote rate (5.0% lifetime) is above the House median but not accompanied by evidence of heavy paid outside activity.

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.
