What is committee alignment?
Congressional committee members oversee specific sectors. When a member of Armed Services trades defence stocks, or Energy and Commerce trades energy companies, they trade within their area of direct oversight. The STOCK Act requires disclosure but the 45-day lag means this data arrives late. This page surfaces aligned trades systematically.
