Rick Larsen (D-WA2), in the House since 2001 and Ranking Member of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, is an active individual-stock trader: roughly 82 trades across ~58 companies totaling about $656K in volume, generally in small $1,001-$15,000 bands. Some holdings overlap his committee jurisdiction (e.g., Wabtec rail/transport, Carrier), creating sector-overlap concern, though trades are small, diversified, and show no documented suspicious timing or market-beating returns. His estimated net worth (~$1.3M, 272nd in Congress) is modest with no sign of growth beyond salary and market, and his top donor sectors (transportation/aerospace, including Boeing) align with his committee leadership as a correlation, not proof of quid pro quo. No evidence of campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying, or notable absenteeism (2.4% lifetime missed votes, near the chamber median) was found.

None

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.

How the score breaks down

Stock self-trading

Active individual-stock trader: ~82 trades, ~$656K volume, 58 companies. Holds Wabtec (rail/transport) and Carrier, overlapping his Transportation & Infrastructure committee jurisdiction. Trades in small $1K-$15K bands, diversified, no documented suspicious timing or market-beating returns. Elevated for volume and committee-sector overlap; moderated by small size and lack of timing evidence.

Correlation, not proof. As Ranking Member (former Aviation Subcommittee chair) of Transportation & Infrastructure, his top donor sectors are transportation, aerospace, and labor, with Boeing historically a top contributor. Donor concentration aligns with committee jurisdiction, but no specific vote-for-dollars link is documented.
