Rob Bresnahan’s Stock Trading Back in Spotlight As Congress Prepares to Hold Hearing Next Week

The House Administration Committee is preparing to hold a hearing on banning members of Congress like Bresnahan from trading stocks.

• Bresnahan sold stock in Centene – a company that describes itself as “the largest Medicaid managed care organization” – before voting for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history.
• Bresnahan dumped up to $250,000 worth of Pennsylvania hospital bonds “after a report identified 10 rural hospitals in Pennsylvania that faced immediate risk of closure” due in part to massive cuts to Medicaid that he supported.
• Bresnahan dumped clean energy stocks before voting to gut clean energy tax credits.
• Bresnahan purchased defense stock ahead of U.S. strikes on Iran.
• Bresnahan “traded stocks heavily” and completed the second most trades out of any member in Congress during the week that Trump announced major global tariffs.

You can read more about how Bresnahan has deeply damaged his own re-election odds with his prolific stock trading in this memo.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Congressman Rob Bresnahan has made himself the poster-child of Washington corruption by trading hundreds of stocks while in office after pledging to ban congressional stock trading. Now even members of his own party are holding a hearing to hold him accountable.”
