6/6 components have data
#139 of 193 scored

Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL8), a House member since 2017, presents a comparatively clean financial-accountability profile based on public records. His disclosed assets consist largely of Vanguard target-date retirement funds and a single Chicago rental property; Quiver Quantitative reports essentially no trackable individual-stock holdings, and he is a lead House sponsor of the ETHICS Act / Restore Trust in Congress Act, which would ban members and spouses from trading individual stocks. Quiver estimates his net worth at roughly $3.9M (2025), much of which derives from his pre-Congress businesses (Sivananthan Laboratories and Episolar) that he says he resigned from before taking office. His campaign money is concentrated among attorneys (about $1M in 2023-24, including ~$341K from Kirkland & Ellis) and, in his 2026 Senate bid, crypto and technology executives, which is a correlation worth noting but not proof of any quid pro quo. He has an exceptionally strong voting-attendance record (about 0.6% missed votes per GovTrack) despite heavy fundraising, and no FEC findings of personal campaign-fund use surfaced in public reporting. The main flagged episode is a 2022 fundraiser he canceled after lobbyists sent unauthorized correspondence, for which the lobbyist publicly took responsibility and he was not found to have coordinated.

The stock-trading ban

H.R. 7008 passage, Jul 22, 2026
No
Cosponsored a ban bill
H.R. 5106 H.R. 4890 H.R. 6731

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-tradinghousehold / spouse
25% weight
8
Disclosures show Vanguard target-date retirement funds and a rental property, with essentially $0 in trackable individual-stock holdings per Quiver. Roughly 'up to $100K of trades' parsed from STOCK Act filings appear to be fund transactions, not individual equities. He is a lead House sponsor of legislation banning member/spouse stock trading.
Net-worth enrichment in office
15% weight
12
Quiver estimates net worth ~$3.9M (2025), up from an OpenSecrets estimate of ~$1.58M in 2018. Much of his wealth predates Congress (founder/president of Sivananthan Laboratories and Episolar) and is therefore not scored; growth is consistent with retirement-fund market appreciation rather than identifiable office-linked enrichment.
Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo
20% weight
35
Correlation, not proof. His donor base is concentrated among attorneys (~$1M in 2023-24, with ~$341K from Kirkland & Ellis) and, in his 2026 Senate bid, crypto and technology executives including a crypto PAC, Marc Andreessen, and Palantir's CTO. He sits on Intelligence and the Select Committee on the CCP; no specific vote-for-money exchange is asserted.
Campaign-fund personal use
15% weight
10
No FEC enforcement actions or reporting of prohibited personal use surfaced. Disbursements (airfare, catering, printing, storage via a campaign credit card) are categories generally permissible under FEC rules for campaign and officeholder activity.
Revolving door & family
15% weight
15
He resigned all business positions before entering Congress to avoid conflicts of interest. One flagged episode: a 2022 fundraiser he canceled after lobbyists sent unauthorized correspondence; lobbyist Mike Manatos said it was sent without Krishnamoorthi's knowledge. No documented family lobbying-on-the-office or staff-to-lobbyist pipeline surfaced.
Skips the job to fundraise
10% weight
6
Despite raising tens of millions (including a $30M+ 2026 Senate haul), his attendance is among the strongest in the House: 32 of 4,987 roll-call votes missed (0.6%) from 2017 to mid-2026, well below the ~2.1% median.
