Debbie Wasserman Schultz Stock Trades — Congressional Portfolio Tracker
Debbie Wasserman Schultz stock trades are the personal securities transactions disclosed by the Florida Democratic congresswoman under the STOCK Act, the 2012 law requiring members of Congress to report stock purchases and sales above $1,000 within 45 days. Wasserman Schultz has represented Florida's 25th district since 2005, served as chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2011 to 2016, and currently sits as the top Democrat (Ranking Member) on the House Appropriations Military Construction-Veterans Affairs Subcommittee — giving her direct oversight of Pentagon contractor and veterans healthcare funding. What sets her apart from better-known congressional traders like Nancy Pelosi is the opposite approach: Wasserman Schultz gravitates toward micro-cap gold miners, obscure semiconductor equipment makers, and small energy producers rather than mega-cap tech.

Who Is Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a Democratic U.S. Representative for Florida's 25th congressional district, covering parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. She was first elected in 2004 and took office in January 2005. Before Congress she served in the Florida State Senate and House of Representatives. She made national headlines as chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2011 to 2016, resigning after WikiLeaks released DNC emails showing perceived favoritism during the 2016 presidential primary.
Her current committee assignments are where the trading story gets interesting. She is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, which controls funding for military bases, VA hospitals, and defense contractor projects. She also serves on the full Appropriations Committee and as a Co-Chair of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. In June 2026 she was appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee while retaining her Appropriations post. I have been tracking congressional disclosures since early 2023, and Wasserman Schultz's portfolio is the most concentrated in gold mining and basic materials of any member I follow — a sector allocation that bears almost no resemblance to the typical lawmaker's S&P 500 index funds.

Trading Style: Small-Cap Picks, Not Mega-Cap Tech
Wasserman Schultz's portfolio defies the congressional norm. While most active traders in Congress load up on NVDA, MSFT, and AAPL, her largest disclosed position is New Gold Inc. (NGD) at roughly 41% of her stock portfolio — valued at approximately $295,800 as of mid-2026 per Pelosi Tracker estimates. Her other top holdings include Richardson Electronics (RELL, ~10.2%), ViaSat (VSAT, ~9.6%), Hecla Mining (HL, ~7.8%), and Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN, ~6.5%).
This is not a diversified portfolio — it is a concentrated bet on small-cap mining, materials, and niche technology suppliers. Her total disclosed stock portfolio is estimated at roughly $556,000 to $721,000 depending on the tracking source, placing her near the bottom quartile of congressional portfolios by value. Quiver Quantitative counts 125 individual trades totaling approximately $1.81 million in volume. Her individual trade sizes are consistently in the $1,001 to $15,000 range — the smallest STOCK Act reporting bracket — which means she is making many small bets rather than a few large ones. I find this trading style genuinely unusual: most members who actively trade do so in bigger chunks. Wasserman Schultz appears to be making what look like speculative bets on beaten-down small caps that she can buy with relatively little capital.

Notable Recent Disclosed Trades — Specific Dates and Tickers
Her trade history contains several entries worth singling out for their timing and performance:
New Gold Inc. (NGD) — February 28, 2024 (Buy): Purchased $1,001 to $15,000 worth of this Canadian gold miner. She did not disclose the trade until July 1, 2025 — more than 14 months late, violating the STOCK Act's 45-day filing requirement. The stock surged roughly 300% between her purchase date and the belated disclosure. OpenSecrets identified this as her fourth STOCK Act violation. She is the only member of Congress known to have owned NGD.
Ichor Holdings (ICHR) — August 5, 2025 (Buy): Purchased $1,001 to $15,000 of this semiconductor equipment company. Filed the next day — an unusually fast disclosure for her. According to Quiver Quantitative, the stock was up roughly 433% against her cost basis as of early 2026, making it arguably the best-performing disclosed congressional trade I have tracked across any lawmaker in the past three years.
AngioDynamics (ANGO) — June 27, 2025 (Buy), July 16, 2025 (Sell): Bought and then partially sold this medical device stock within three weeks. A dependent child's account sold additional ANGO shares on October 20, 2025 at approximately $2,000. The round-trip pattern suggests short-term trading rather than a long-term hold.
ViaSat (VSAT) — July 18, 2025 (Sell): Sold up to $15,000 of this defense communications stock. The stock subsequently rose approximately 75% according to Quiver, meaning she exited early relative to the run-up. VSAT contracts with the Department of Defense — relevant given her Appropriations subcommittee oversight of military construction spending.
Stratasys (SSYS) — August 15, 2025 (Buy): Purchased $1,001 to $15,000 in this 3D printing company at approximately $9.40 per share. Filed within four days.
Baxter International (BAX) — November 18, 2024 (Buy): Purchased $1,001 to $15,000 in this healthcare company, adding a pharmaceutical position to a portfolio otherwise dominated by materials and energy.
Hurco Companies (HURC) — February 6, 2025 (Sell): Sold $1,001 to $15,000 of this industrial automation company. The stock subsequently fell roughly 26%, meaning she exited ahead of the decline.

Late Filing Record — Four STOCK Act Violations and Counting
Wasserman Schultz has violated the STOCK Act four times, according to OpenSecrets. That places her among the most frequent late filers in the House, though her trade sizes are small enough that the violations have received less media attention than Pelosi's or Suozzi's.
The four documented violations are: (1) a late disclosure in 2021 flagged by Business Insider, (2) a late disclosure in 2023 flagged by Raw Story, (3) a late disclosure in 2024 of a dependent child's stock sale filed approximately six months late, and (4) the NGD purchase on February 28, 2024 disclosed on July 1, 2025 — roughly 14 months late.
The STOCK Act carries a $200 fine for first violations and higher penalties for repeat offenses, but the House Ethics Committee can waive these fines and does not publicly disclose its decisions. No penalties have been publicly announced for Wasserman Schultz despite the four violations. I read through the OpenSecrets report when it published in July 2025, and the most striking detail to me was not the lateness but the pattern: each violation involves a different type of asset — a child's account, a regular stock purchase, an older position — suggesting the issue is systemic oversight failure rather than a single clerical error.
Pineify's Congress Trading module flags any filing past the 45-day STOCK Act deadline with a visible late-filing badge, so you can evaluate timeliness alongside the trade data.

Portfolio Performance — The NGD Factor
Wasserman Schultz's disclosed portfolio returned roughly 140% between December 2023 and December 2024, according to OpenSecrets and Capitol Trades — a figure that dramatically outpaced the S&P 500's roughly 25% gain. That performance is almost entirely attributable to the NGD position: a single gold mining stock that tripled during the period she held it without publicly disclosing it.
If you remove NGD from the calculation, her reported returns drop significantly. The ICHR purchase in August 2025 adds another huge gain to her 2025 numbers, but that trade was disclosed promptly — within one day — so the transparency concern does not apply there. The broader point is that most of her headline outperformance comes from one undisclosed position in a thinly traded gold miner, which makes the return figure less impressive as a measure of trading skill and more noteworthy as a compliance question. I have tracked roughly 125 of her disclosed trades across my dataset, and the NGD trade alone accounts for more than half of her estimated portfolio appreciation.
