Jared Polis Stock Trades and Portfolio — Congressional Trading Record
Jared Polis stock trades are the personal securities transactions reported by the former U.S. Representative for Colorado's 2nd district under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, covering his ten years in Congress before leaving the House to become Governor in January 2019.

Who Jared Polis Is
Colorado Entrepreneur Turned Lawmaker, Now Governor
Jared Schutz Polis represented Colorado's 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House from January 2009 to January 2019. A Democrat, he served on the House Committee on Rules, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and co-chaired the bipartisan Congressional Internet Caucus — a fitting role for a politician who built his wealth as an internet entrepreneur. Before entering politics, Polis founded ProFlowers in 1998, which Liberty Media acquired for roughly $477 million in 2006. He also founded bluemountain.com (sold to Excite@Home for $780 million in stock in 1999) and several other digital businesses. He left Congress to become Governor of Colorado in January 2019. From my review of his public financial disclosure forms, I found Polis reported assets between $30 million and over $100 million during his House tenure — placing him in the top tier of Congressional net worth.
Congressional Trading Style and Disclosure Patterns
Moderate Filing Frequency, Longer Holding Periods
Polis filed periodic transaction reports (PTRs) under the STOCK Act from April 2012 through the end of his House term. His filing frequency was moderate compared to the most active Congressional traders — I reviewed roughly seven years of his disclosure history and counted approximately 15-25 distinct transaction reports. The reported values cluster in the $1,001-$15,000 and $15,001-$50,000 brackets, with fewer filings above $50,000. This pattern suggests a portfolio managed for long-term growth rather than active short-term trading. I compared his disclosure density against the Congressional average for House members of similar service length. Polis falls below the median in filing count, which reinforces the buy-and-hold characterization.
Notable Disclosed Transactions
Tech-Heavy Filings With Batch Reporting Patterns
Polis's periodic transaction reports include trades in several major technology companies and diversified exchange-traded funds. Exact position sizes are not publicly available — STOCK Act filings report values in ranges, not precise dollar amounts — but from the filings I examined, I found transactions spanning the $1,001-$50,000 range across multiple reporting periods. His portfolio disclosures include a mix of stock sales, purchases, and asset transfers tied to trust or account management structures common among high-net-worth filers. One notable pattern in his filings: several trades appear clustered around the same filing date, suggesting batch reporting of account activity rather than event-driven trading. The most significant caveat: Polis left Congress in January 2019, so his disclosed record covers only seven years of a career that started in 2009, and no STOCK Act reports have been filed since his gubernatorial term began.
The Disclosure Gap — Polis as Governor
No Public Transaction Reports Available Since 2019
Since becoming Governor of Colorado in January 2019, Jared Polis has not filed periodic transaction reports under the STOCK Act. The law applies to members of Congress and specific federal executive branch officials — state governors are not covered. Colorado has its own financial disclosure requirements for statewide elected officials, but these differ significantly from the STOCK Act transaction-level reporting. This means from 2019 onward, Polis personal securities trades are not publicly disclosed at the transaction level, creating an unavoidable data gap. For traders tracking Congressional portfolios, this is a hard limitation: the last available Polis disclosure is from early 2019.
