- Alabama’s Tommy Tuberville trades more stocks than any other member of the U.S. Senate, finding himself on lists of top congressional traders with the likes of Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
Tuberville’s not the richest member of Congress and he may not be the most successful trader. But his trading does catch a lot of attention. Tuberville’s stock trading activity has drawn so much public scrutiny that he’s one of just six individuals featured on an investment app’s “invest like a politician” list.
And the timing of some of his trades, and his holdings of some agricultural commodities and foreign stocks, have raised questions and sparked headlines.
The New York Times flagged 20 of Tuberville’s trades with direct ties to four of his committees, including companies like Hershey Co., Microsoft, General Dynamics, and Johnson & Johnson.
