Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson — one of Congress’ most prolific stock traders — is exiting the stock-trading game.
The Texas congresswoman sold all or parts of 59 individual stock holdings during August, according to a NOTUS review of new congressional financial disclosures.
Asked about the stock sales, Johnson spokesperson Thomas A. Falcigno confirmed that Johnson is in the “process of divesting her stocks, managed by an independent third party, into ETFs and mutual funds to avoid any potential conflicts of interest with her congressional work. These actions on her portfolio reflect this ongoing process.”
