Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have been heavily active in the stock markets, and critics argue that her status as a lawmaker gives her an advantage.
The 2012 law makes it illegal for lawmakers to use their knowledge of Congress for personal gain and requires them or family members to disclose stock transactions within 45 days.
Data from analytics firm Unusual Whales, which tracks congressional trade activity, shows Pelosi’s portfolio jumped 70.9% in 2024, well outpacing 25% growth in 2024.
But Pelosi was far from the most successful trade member of Congress. Rep. David Rouzer, from North Carolina’s 7th District, saw his portfolio jump 140% last year.
Unusual Whales also has exchange-traded funds that track the trading activities of Democratic and Republican lawmakers – NANC and KRUZ.
