Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar's Boeing Stock Purchases Raise Ethical Concerns
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a member of the House Foreign Affairs and Financial Services Committees, has made significant purchases of Boeing stock, signaling confidence in the aerospace giant's recovery. The transactions, disclosed on March 19, 2026, include a purchase valued between $15,001 and $50,000 in her UBS brokerage account and another between $1,001 and $15,000 in her UBS IRA account. These trades, executed by a third-party manager, mark a notable re-entry into the market for Salazar, who had no stock transactions in 2025. Boeing's recent financial performance, including a Q1 2026 revenue increase and defense contract wins, suggests a potential turning point despite ongoing challenges. Salazar's committee roles provide her with insights into the defense sector, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
