D Democrat · Senator, Delaware

Low self-dealing

#190 of 193 scored

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), elected to the Senate in 2024 after four House terms, presents a clean self-dealing profile based on available public records. Her disclosed financial holdings consist exclusively of broad-based ETFs and index funds (AGG, SPY, VEA, IEMG) rather than individual company stocks, meaning the stock-trading component scores at zero — no individual-stock conflicts arise from diversified passive funds. She has a near-perfect voting attendance record (about 0.5% missed votes lifetime), and no public reporting surfaced regarding campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying, or revolving-door arrangements. Her campaign donor base is led by lawyers/law firms and largely Delaware-based interests; this is noted as correlation, not proof, and no specific donation-vote quid-pro-quo pattern was identified.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
No
Cosponsored a ban bill
S. 1879 S. 5320

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-trading
25% weight
0
Disclosed holdings are exclusively broad-market ETFs and index funds (AGG, SPY, VEA, IEMG) — no individual-company stocks. Per rubric, no individual-stock trading = score 0. Aggregate trackers list ~$7.4M in 'trades,' but these reflect fund rebalancing/holdings, not single-name equities with committee-sector overlap.

CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Top donor industry for her 2024 victory fund was lawyers/law firms ($75.4K), led by Delaware firm Young Conaway. Donor base is geographically/industry-concentrated in Delaware legal and corporate-services interests, but no specific aligned vote/bill quid-pro-quo was identified in public reporting. Low score reflects ordinary home-state concentration absent demonstrated vote linkage.
