Vote-Trade Correlations

Trades that landed within 90 days of the member's own vote on a bill touching the same industry, where the member also sits on a committee with jurisdiction over that industry.

A pair on this page is a timing overlap. It is not proof that the vote and the trade are connected, and many members hold managed portfolios they do not direct.

How a pair gets on this page

A trade and a vote are paired when three things hold at once: the traded company's line of business matches a subject the bill is tagged with, the member sits on a committee with jurisdiction over that subject, and the two events fall within 90 days of each other. Each row names the shared subject and the committee, so the basis for the pairing is on the page rather than behind it.

Ceremonial and naming bills are excluded. So are companies whose recorded line of business is too general to tie to any subject, and defense-tagged bills, because nothing in the record distinguishes a defense contractor from any other manufacturer. Correlation is not causation, and a pair here is a question worth asking, not an answer.
