In the news

31 articles from 9 outlets

Newest first. Nothing here is ranked, featured or promoted, and an article appears because it names this member, not because of what it says about them.

Headlines are reproduced as published by the outlet named beside them and link to the original. The Vote Files does not write, edit or endorse them. Outlet positions are our own and describe an outlet's editorial orientation, not the accuracy of its reporting. Our method is on the sources page.

Financial disclosures

Stock trades reported under the STOCK Act

From the Periodic Transaction Reports Edward J. Markey filed with the Clerk of the House or the Secretary of the Senate. Each row links to the official report.

No official record has been found at this time; we are watching for updates.

Dates are placed side by side for reference only. Proximity in time between a trade and any official action does not indicate any wrongdoing or any knowledge on anyone's part.

Amounts are the range printed on the report; the law does not require exact values, and none are estimated here. The day count is from the transaction date to the report's filing date; the STOCK Act requires a report within 45 days of a transaction (5 U.S.C. 13105(l)). This check does not account for any extension or for the separate rule counted from the date of notification.

Financial disclosure data is published here as news for the general public and is always free. Federal law (5 U.S.C. 13107(c)) prohibits using it for any unlawful purpose, for any commercial purpose other than news and communications media dissemination to the general public, for determining anyone's credit rating, or for soliciting money. Read the statute.

In the courts

Verified official-capacity cases

Federal cases whose public caption explicitly names this person as a United States senator or representative in an official capacity, during a term recorded in this file. The date on each line is the date of that record, not necessarily the day the case was filed. Being named in an official-capacity case is not a finding about the person, and nothing here says who won. Personal-capacity matters are excluded entirely.

No case has passed the official-capacity identity, subject-matter, and court-follow-through gates for this file. That is not a statement that no case exists. It means VoteFiles has no qualifying public record to display here.

Case records come from each court's own docket and from the United States Courts Opinions collection published by the Government Publishing Office. Select any case to open the official record. Search another politician or see sources and methodology.
