Official portrait of Rosa L. DeLauro

Rosa L. DeLauro

D Democrat · Representative, Connecticut 3rd district

Low self-dealing
5/6 components have data
#164 of 193 scored

Rosa DeLauro (D-CT3), in office since 1991 and Ranking Member of House Appropriations, has no record of individual-stock trading and is a co-sponsor of bills to ban congressional stock ownership/trading, so the highest-weighted component scores zero. Her reported net worth has declined over the period and her wealth is largely tied to her husband, veteran Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg (pre-office/spousal), so no enrichment beyond salary/market is evident. The clearest accountability questions are correlation-based: heavy PAC and health-sector money alongside an Appropriations role, and unverified critic claims that party-committee transfers flow to her husband's polling firm. Her voting attendance is strong (1.8% missed, better than median), so the job-vs-fundraising component is low.

The stock-trading ban

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

CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Critics allege Democratic party-committee (e.g., DCCC) transfers are routed to her husband Stan Greenberg's polling firm; this is a spousal-business concern but the specific routing claim comes from an unverified critical blog, not direct campaign payments from her own committee. No staff-to-lobbyist pipeline documented.
