#179 of 193 scored

Senator Todd Young (R-IN) presents an unusually clean financial-conduct profile. Disclosures show effectively no individual-stock holdings or STOCK Act trades; his assets are limited to a state retirement fund and small bank accounts, and trackers estimate his net worth near zero or negative, largely due to debt, so there is no evidence of net-worth enrichment beyond salary. As a senator on Commerce and Foreign Relations, he led the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, and securities, defense and tech interests appear among his donors; this represents correlation between industry support and his legislative agenda, not proof of any quid pro quo. No public records were found indicating campaign-fund personal use, family lobbying tied to his office, or fundraising-driven absenteeism, and his missed-vote rate (about 1.5% lifetime) is better than the Senate median.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
Yes
Cosponsored a ban bill
S. 3649 S. 4134

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. Securities, defense and tech sectors appear among Young's donors while he authored the CHIPS and Science Act benefiting semiconductor/defense interests (including Indiana's NSWC Crane). Alignment of industry support and agenda is expected for a Commerce/Foreign Relations senator and is not evidence of a quid pro quo.
