Track record

Assembled from Congress.gov · FEC · official disclosures — each fact links its own source

27
Bills sponsored →
plus 167 cosponsored

A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.
2
Sponsored bills enacted →
of 27 bills sponsored

Whether a bill becomes law depends on the whole Congress, not the sponsor alone; substantive provisions often pass folded into other vehicles.
0
Documented positions →
no positions documented yet

Documented, sourced positions we have on record — the absence of a documented position is not the absence of a view.
0
Committee assignments →
none on record

Committee seats are assignments made by party leadership — a measure of role and jurisdiction, not an achievement or a conflict in itself.
68
Disclosed stock trades →
7 tickers · 10 in a sector a committee they sit on oversees

Disclosed trades are legally required public filings (STOCK Act), not evidence of wrongdoing; trades may be executed by a manager or held in a blind trust.

Assembled from CivicGate's ingested public records for Gerald E. Connolly. A fact shown as “—” means we don't yet hold that data — not that the value is zero.
