The 119th Congress · updated Oct 8, 2026
Who voted to stop Congress from trading stocks?
The House passed the Stop Insider Trading Act (H.R. 7008) 232–198 on Jul 22, 2026. On Sep 30, 2026, the Senate fell 7 votes short of the 60 needed to take it up (53–47). Nothing is law. Here's every vote, every cosponsor, and every member's trading record next to it.
Both parties say they want a ban. They disagree about which one. H.R. 7008 bans new purchases by members, spouses and dependents, requires 7 days' notice before a sale, and lets members keep what they already own. Republicans paired it with the SAVE Act voter-ID bill in the Senate; every Democrat voted no, and many back full-divestment bills instead (H.R. 5106, H.R. 6731, S. 1879). Meanwhile, plenty of members who voted yes haven't cosponsored any ban bill at all. The lists below show both gaps.
What the ban would have stopped
Since January 2025, members disclosed 6,513 stock purchases (51% of 12,728 trades). Under H.R. 7008, every one of those purchases would have been illegal. 43% of all trades were made by a spouse or joint account, which H.R. 7008 covers and the 2012 STOCK Act only requires to be disclosed.
Do heavy traders vote differently? Of the 153 members with disclosed trades who cast a vote, 94 voted yes and 59 voted no. Among scored members, the median score of yes voters is 24 and of no voters 18. The vote split by party, not by trading.
The gaps, on both sides
Cosponsored a ban, then voted no on H.R. 7008 (158)
On record for banning trades, against this version. Most cite the missing divestment requirement or the SAVE Act rider.
