Jon Ossoff

D Democrat · Senator, Georgia

Low self-dealing

#175 of 193 scored

Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) presents an unusually clean profile on self-dealing metrics. He placed his portfolio in a qualified blind trust in 2021 and is the lead Senate author of the Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act, so no individual-stock trading by him or his spouse appears in public PTR records. His net worth (estimated roughly $3-5M in 2025) largely traces to pre-office inheritance and his media company Insight, not unexplained in-office growth. No FEC complaints for personal use of campaign funds, no documented family-lobbying or staff-to-lobbyist scandals surfaced, and his missed-vote rate (about 4.1% lifetime) is modestly above the Senate median but unremarkable. The main caveat is campaign-money correlation: he is a prolific fundraiser, but no evidence ties donor industries to specific self-interested votes.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
No
Cosponsored a ban bill
S. 1498 S. 1879

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.

How the score breaks down

Stock self-tradinghousehold / spouse
25% weight
0
No individual-stock trading. Ossoff placed his portfolio in a qualified blind trust in 2021 (one of ~10 members to do so) and is lead author of the Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act. No personal/spouse PTR stock trades found.
Net-worth enrichment in office
15% weight
5
Net worth estimated ~$3-5M (2025), with up to $5M in a blind trust. Wealth largely predates office (inheritance + Insight media company); no evidence of in-office growth beyond salary/market. Blind-trust opacity limits precision.

CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Ossoff is among the top congressional fundraisers ($10.3M Q1 + $9.1M Q2 2025), drawing heavily from lawyers, finance, and media/entertainment donors per OpenSecrets. No documented instance of a donor-aligned self-interested vote or earmark; he also sponsors legislation to remove corporate money from politics.
