Steve Cohen
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN-9), in the House since 2007 and a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, presents a largely clean record on self-dealing metrics. His financial disclosures show a portfolio dominated by funds (e.g., a Tennessee stable value fund) plus a few buy-and-hold individual stocks (Microsoft, Amgen) and Treasury bills, with no pattern of active STOCK Act stock trading; he was an early cosponsor of the STOCK Act itself. His disclosed net worth grew over his tenure (roughly $2.6M in 2010 to $6.2M in 2018), but he entered Congress as an established attorney and former state senator, and the growth is consistent with passive holdings rather than documented enrichment. His donor base is concentrated in lawyers/law firms — a correlation worth noting given his Judiciary role but not evidence of quid pro quo — and no public ethics findings, campaign-fund personal-use cases, family-lobbying ties, or excessive missed-vote/fundraising patterns surfaced in the record.

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.
