Pramila Jayapal
Pramila Jayapal (D-WA-07) has a financial record with little evidence of self-dealing. Public reporting and her own disclosures indicate her household has held only one individual stock—Newell Brands shares gifted by a family member over a decade ago—which she sold for between $1,001 and $15,000 in 2023; she disclosed the sale on her annual report but filed the required periodic transaction report late, a technical STOCK Act violation typically carrying a $200 fine. Her other reported assets are diversified index and ETF funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors, and she is a lead sponsor of multiple bipartisan bills to ban congressional stock trading and ownership. Her financial disclosures show large liabilities exceeding assets (a reported negative net worth), with no sourced evidence of wealth growth beyond her salary or broad-market returns. Her campaign and PAC funding is concentrated in labor unions—roughly $401,500 from public-sector unions—aligning with her pro-labor voting record (correlation, not proof of quid pro quo). She spent about $50,000 in campaign funds on home security in 2023, including payments to a renovation contractor that one outlet questioned as a possible structural improvement, though the FEC permits non-structural residential security spending; her missed-vote rate (2.6%) is near the congressional median.

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 →

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.
