What Are Senate Financial Disclosures?
Senate financial disclosures are mandatory filings required under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012. Every U.S. Senator must publicly report their stock trades and financial transactions within 45 days. These disclosures provide transparency into the investment activities of elected officials, allowing the public to monitor potential conflicts of interest between legislative duties and personal financial holdings.
