THE POLIWEALTH
MINUTE

Congressional trading whispers suggest a bipartisan bet on home improvement and tech. Between March twelfth and late March, three lawmakers bought Home Depot, while five, mostly Democrats, piled into Microsoft. PayPal also saw modest interest from three members. But the real story lies in the high-roller pairs. Senator Ashley Moody of Florida chairs the health committee and holds Eli Lilly stock worth around three hundred fifty thousand dollars. With twenty two million dollars in industry lobbying hitting her desk, that’s a steep price for access. Representative Tim Moore chairs the House Budget Committee and traded UnitedHealth Group fifteen times, racking up nearly four hundred sixty eight thousand dollars in positions. He’s seen seventeen million dollars in healthcare lobbying. Then there’s Representative Michael McCaul. The Foreign Affairs chair holds Chevron stock worth around eight hundred fifteen thousand dollars. Despite his diplomatic portfolio, he’s watched ten million dollars flow from energy lobbyists. And if you thought late filings were just administrative errors, check Rep. Lisa McClain. She’s overdue on nine hundred thirty eight reports, with one delay stretching over a year. From PoliWealth, thats your minute. Well see you tomorrow.
