Rep. Pramila Jayapal is one of Congress’ most outspoken advocates against federal lawmakers trading individual stocks.
But the Democrat from Washington state this week violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act by failing to properly disclose a stock sale she made in 2023, a NOTUS review of congressional financial records indicates.
She joins dozens of other congressional Democrats and Republicans alike who, to varying degrees this decade, didn’t comply with a requirement mandating they publicly reveal any personal stock trade no later than 45 days after making it. By law, federal lawmakers must do so by filing what’s known as a “periodic transaction report.”
