Kathy Castor
Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL14), in the House since 2007, presents a largely clean record on self-dealing metrics. Her financial disclosures reflect passive, diversified fund holdings (e.g., Franklin Income Fund, Vanguard 500 index) rather than active individual-stock trading, so no STOCK Act periodic-transaction-report pattern of concern surfaces. Her estimated net worth (~$6.3M in 2018 per OpenSecrets) appears substantially tied to pre-existing assets and broad-market funds rather than tenure-linked enrichment, though disclosure ranges make precise attribution difficult. No public FEC enforcement action, campaign-fund personal-use finding, or family-lobbying scandal was identified; her vote attendance (3.1% lifetime missed) is modestly worse than the chamber median but unremarkable.

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 →
