Trades & Committees
Trades & Committees is a data page on the People & Money desk of Glassbox Auditing. The stock trades members of Congress file under the STOCK Act, set beside the committees they sit on, the sectors each committee's members trade against the chamber as a whole, and the federal contracts of the companies traded. A filed trade is a public record; the page sets trades and seats side by side and does not say any trade used non-public information.
