Representative Tom Suozzi from Long Island achieved the highest stock portfolio performance among Democrats in 2025, surpassing even Nancy Pelosi, as reported by The Post.
This information was provided by Quiver Quantitative, a platform analyzing stock trades of Congress members amid growing scrutiny of their financial gains.
Suozzi’s impressive 35% return far exceeded major market indexes, with the Dow at 14%, the S&P 500 at 17%, and the Nasdaq at 21%, according to data shared with the Post.
Quiver Quantitative’s CEO, Christopher Kardatzke, remarked that “some of our members seem to be focusing more on managing their investments than their legislative duties.” He noted activities like day trading and meme coin trading among Congressman.
Suozzi, elected in 2016 and a member of the Subcommittee on Taxation and Oversight, concluded the year with a stock portfolio valued at $9.5 million, yielding a profit of $2.5 million. Much of this profit originated from his substantial investment in NVIDIA, which rose around 40% over the year.
Representing parts of Queens and Long Island, Suozzi has faced controversy over his late filings and failure to disclose numerous transactions—up to 300 at times.
He has brushed aside worries about his trading practices, in one instance stating, “There’s a lot happening in Congress, and ethics isn’t my top priority.” His chief of staff mentioned that some investments predated Suozzi’s congressional term.
Among other members of Congress with significant returns, Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC) reported a remarkable 52% increase in his portfolio, becoming one of the most active traders with about 200 trades this year.
Senator Ted Cruz also saw a healthy 50% return, largely due to a substantial holding in Goldman Sachs stock. Meanwhile, despite her departure from Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene recorded a 33% return.
The rising profits of these congressional members come at a time when there are increasing calls for a ban on stock trading among Congress members, who often have access to sensitive information that could influence market trends.
As the conversation around ethics and trading continues, Suozzi’s financial success has ignited debate with some arguing that while he profits, his constituents are left behind.
Nancy Pelosi, for instance, only achieved an 18% return in 2025, significantly lower than her 54% the previous year, partly due to a decline in her investment with Salesforce.
