Rick Allen (R-GA-12), a House member since 2015 who sits on the Energy & Commerce and Education & Workforce committees, maintains an actively traded securities portfolio managed by outside advisers that his office says trade "without his direct input." Public reporting documents at least two apparent STOCK Act violations: Business Insider found undisclosed 2020 holdings and a ~15-month-late spouse trade, and Raw Story/AJC reported he filed 136 transactions worth roughly $3.05M-$8.56M years late in August 2023, some up to six-and-a-half years overdue. Several traded sectors (energy utilities such as Dominion and NextEra, oil majors like ExxonMobil and Phillips 66, and telecom like Verizon) overlap with matters before his Energy & Commerce committee, though no quid-pro-quo is alleged and no market-beating returns are documented. Allen is among the wealthier members of Congress, but his wealth substantially predates office, deriving from a construction business he founded in 1976 and a ~$1M self-funded 2014 primary, so net-worth growth attributable to office is not clearly demonstrated. His voting attendance is strong (1.4% missed votes, better than the chamber median), and no evidence of campaign-fund personal use, FEC complaints, or family lobbying was found, aside from one former staffer who became a Walmart lobbyist. Allen attributed the disclosure failures to a former compliance firm and said he engaged new counsel and worked with the House Ethics Committee.

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-tradinghousehold / spouse
25% weight
62
Active household securities trading via managed accounts spanning 41-plus companies (reported figures range from 81 trades/$2.4M to 136 transactions/$3.05M-$8.56M). Repeated STOCK Act late-filing violations (2021 and 2024), including spouse trades, with some disclosures years late. Holdings overlap his Energy & Commerce committee jurisdiction (energy utilities, oil/gas, telecom), though trades are described as adviser-directed and no market-beating returns are documented.
Allen filed 136 stock and financial transactions worth $3.05M-$8.56M years late on his 2023 disclosure, some up to six-and-a-half years overdue, including energy stocks (Dominion, ExxonMobil, NextEra, Phillips 66) and telecom (Verizon).News reportingrawstory.com ↗AJC reported the 136 late-filed transactions ($3.05M-$8.56M); Allen's office said trades are 'made on his behalf by investment managers and without his direct input,' and the filing was done in consultation with the House Ethics Committee.News reportingajc.com ↗Earlier (2021) violation: Allen failed to disclose holdings in seven companies (up to $140,000) and was ~15 months late reporting a June 2020 stock purchase by his wife.Reference databaseen.wikipedia.org ↗MarketBeat profile lists 81 trades, $2.43M volume, across 41 companies spanning healthcare, technology, financials and Treasuries.Data aggregatormarketbeat.com ↗
Net-worth enrichment in office
15% weight
0
Allen is among Congress's wealthier members (estimated $17M-$87M in 2018; ~$23M in 2026), but his wealth substantially predates his 2015 entry to office, deriving from a construction company founded in 1976 and a ~$1M self-funded 2014 primary. No sourced evidence shows net-worth growth beyond market returns attributable to office, so per the rubric pre-office wealth is not scored.
Allen founded R.W. Allen & Associates construction company in 1976 and spent nearly $1 million of his own money to win the 2014 GOP primary; a spokesperson said he divested his majority stake years before becoming a lawmaker.Reference databaseen.wikipedia.org ↗Estimated net worth ~$23.2 million as of February 2026, ranking 55th in Congress.Data aggregatorquiverquant.com ↗
Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo
20% weight
30
Correlation, not proof: Allen sits on Energy & Commerce, which oversees energy and telecom, and his disclosed portfolio includes energy-utility, oil/gas and telecom names; campaign finance is partly tracked via OpenSecrets/FEC. Detailed industry-donor totals were not retrievable from primary aggregators during research (OpenSecrets returned 403), limiting the ability to quantify donor concentration aligned to votes. No quid-pro-quo is asserted.

No sourced evidence of campaign or leadership-PAC funds spent on personal-benefit categories, and no FEC complaint or investigation into personal use was found. Per rubric, absence of data is not penalized.

One documented staff-to-lobbyist instance: Allen's former legislative director Katie Mercer was reported lobbying for Walmart. No evidence of family members lobbying or contracting tied to his office was found.

10% weight
5
Strong voting attendance undercuts any job-vs-fundraising concern: Allen missed only 87 of 6,281 roll-call votes (1.4%) from January 2015 to May 2026, better than the median of 2.1% for current representatives. No evidence of heavy paid-speech or fundraising-driven absences.
