Just checked out some interesting data on how politicians are playing the stock market. Representative Mike Kelly apparently made around $123.4K last month based on his portfolio moves - his net worth is estimated at $13.1M as of mid-2025, which puts him pretty high up in Congress rankings.

What caught my eye were his actual trades. He bought into CLF back in March 2024 for up to $100K, but that's down 56.6% since then - ouch. Then there's his UNP sale in November for $50K that's only fallen 2.65%, so that one wasn't too bad. More recently he picked up some X stock in June 2025 for $50K and it's up 2.01%. Mixed results overall, honestly.

He's also been pretty active with legislative stuff - pushing bills on healthcare, tax code changes, and employee ownership programs. On the fundraising side, he brought in $126.3K in Q1 2025 according to FEC filings, though that's not huge compared to some others.

It's wild how much of this financial data is publicly available now. You can literally track how politicians like Kelly manage their portfolios and see if their legislative priorities align with their investments. Makes you think about the whole transparency angle in government.
