New Jersey Congress Members Disclose Financial Details, Including Campaign Travel and Stock Trading Votes
Recent financial disclosure forms from members of Congress, including those from New Jersey, have revealed details about their personal finances, campaign-related travel, and legislative actions concerning stock trading. Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, for instance, made 11 campaign trips during his run for governorship, with most expenses covered by his campaign. He, along with other New Jersey representatives like Tom Kean and Jeff Van Drew, voted in July for legislation that would limit stock trading by members of Congress, though it stops short of a total ban. The disclosures also show that Gottheimer and Kean maintain active financial portfolios managed by outside entities. These annual reports, mandated by federal law, provide insights into lawmakers' stock and bond transactions, financial liabilities, spousal income, and gifts, offering a glimpse into their financial activities.
