Ron Wyden
Ron Wyden's household actively trades individual securities, and his portfolio rose roughly 123.8% in 2024 versus a 24.9% gain for the S&P 500, according to reporting based on STOCK Act filings. His wife, Nancy Bass Wyden, held up to roughly $3 million in Big Tech stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google) in a managed (non-blind) account and traded energy companies (ExxonMobil, Shell) and Nvidia during periods when Wyden held relevant committee positions and advocated legislation such as the CHIPS Act and a "digital trade" agenda; ethics experts (Richard Painter, Craig Holman) called these an appearance of conflict, while no law was violated and Wyden's office says the couple keeps finances separate. Over a long career his top career industry donor is Securities & Investment (about $4.18 million) with Nike as his top organizational donor, reflecting a correlation between donors and his jurisdiction that does not establish quid pro quo. Public reporting surfaced no evidence of campaign-funds personal-use violations, and few of his staffers have moved into lobbying, with observers describing him as "not a K Street kind of guy." No specific evidence of heavy missed votes paired with fundraising was found. Net-worth figures are difficult to attribute to office because much wealth is tied to his wife's longstanding family business (the Strand Bookstore) and broad-market index holdings.

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.
