Official portrait of Roger F. Wicker

Roger F. Wicker

R Republican · Senator, Mississippi
30
Moderate self-dealing
2/6 components have data
#44 of 193 scored

Wicker holds modest individual-stock positions, including Walmart and (reported) Amazon shares in companies under the jurisdiction of the Commerce Committee he formerly chaired — a documented potential conflict, though trackers show essentially no active trading in recent years. As current Armed Services Committee chair, his ties to defense priorities and contractors (with a past earmark-for-donor criticism in 2007) form a donor/policy-alignment flag that is correlation, not proof. No public reporting surfaced on campaign-fund personal use or revolving-door enrichment. His net worth is comparatively modest among senators.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
Yes
Cosponsored a ban bill
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 →

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.

Holds individual stocks including Walmart (and reported Amazon) — companies under the Commerce Committee he chaired — raising committee-sector overlap concerns. However, Capitol Trades shows essentially no tracked trade activity in the last ~3 years, indicating buy-and-hold rather than active/suspicious trading.

Correlation, not proof. As Armed Services chair, defense is a core donor sector; he was criticized in 2007 for a $6M earmark to a defense firm whose executives donated to him. Aligned defense priorities documented, but no quid pro quo established.
