Kirsten E. Gillibrand

D Democrat · Senator, New York
6
Low self-dealing
4/6 components have data
#185 of 193 scored

Senator Gillibrand's disclosed assets are mostly bank deposits and real estate, with no documented active individual-stock trading; she led 2012 STOCK Act passage and has repeatedly introduced bills to ban congressional stock ownership. Her lifetime missed-vote rate (2.7%) is near the Senate median, though it spiked to ~15% during her 2019-20 presidential run, a common pattern for candidates. No campaign-fund personal-use findings or revolving-door family issues were identified. On the scored components her record is largely clean.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
No
Cosponsored a ban bill
S. 3649 S. 1879 S. 2877

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.
