5/6 components have data
#82 of 193 scored
Maria Elvira Salazar represents Florida's 27th District, sits on Financial Services and Foreign Affairs, and chairs the Western Hemisphere subcommittee. She trades individual stocks actively, with 121 trades in 2026 alone, including financial firms her committee oversees; none of the recent trades were filed late. Her campaign committees have a history of FEC compliance problems that the FEC blamed largely on a former treasurer. She missed 13.2% of roll calls, partly because of her mother's death in June 2026. Her disclosed wealth is moderate and shows no unexplained jump.

NoneH.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 →

How the score breaks down
Stock self-tradinghousehold / spouse
25% weight
42
Greederboard's parse finds 134 transactions from Dec. 2023 to Sept. 2026 (122 self, 12 spouse), about $2.8M–$7.6M by range. That includes four spouse Treasury-bill buys of $500K–$1M each in 2023–24. Trading picked up in 2026: 121 trades worth about $0.7M–$3.2M, mostly individual stocks, including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Chubb and Berkshire Hathaway while she sits on Financial Services (Capital Markets subcommittee). None of the parsed trades were filed late. In 2022 she was reported to have disclosed a roughly $500K Cano Health stock receipt more than two months late.

Net-worth enrichment in office
15% weight
8
Her 2024 and 2025 annual reports show a mid-range portfolio of Merrill Lynch IRA and brokerage accounts, annuities and a 100%-owned business (MES Home Distributors), with no liabilities listed for 2025. Nothing shows large unexplained growth while in office; she had a long TV career before Congress.
Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo
20% weight
15
Correlation, not proof. PAC money is a large share of her receipts: about $1.0M of $3.2M in 2024 and $533K of $2.0M in the 2026 cycle (through July 29, 2026), per FEC. The itemized PAC records found (Realtors, General Dynamics) are small. No documented donor-to-action link was found.
Campaign-fund personal use
15% weight
15
No personal-use allegation was found, but her committees have had FEC problems. In a 2024 conciliation agreement the FEC found her former treasurer 'reckless', citing about $2.1M in reporting errors and misdeposited checks from the 2022 cycle; her three committees had earlier paid a combined $22,800 and blamed the treasurer. In 2021 the FEC sent warning letters about roughly $147,400 in excessive contributions, and a separate complaint was dismissed as low priority. These are compliance failures, not findings of personal benefit.

No family lobbying or office-linked contracts were found.
Skips the job to fundraise
10% weight
35
Voteview records 89 missed of 674 roll calls (13.2%), about seven times the ~1.9% House median. Part of that is bereavement: she missed a full week in June 2026 after her mother's death. 22 misses fell in December 2025, and no public explanation was found for those. No evidence ties the absences to fundraising; her receipts are modest for a House member.
