Trading activity by members of Congress and their spouses has come under fire in recent years, with calls to ban Congress from trading individual stocks due to the sensitive or non-public information they might be privy to.

But Pelosi has long swatted down calls for such legislation.

In December 2021, Pelosi responded to the idea of a possible stock trading ban with, "We are a free-market economy. They should be able to participate in that."

And in July 2022, Pelosi denied the idea that her husband had made stock trades based on information she shared with him.

"Absolutely not," Pelosi said.

The tracking of Pelosi's trades, and the trades of other members of Congress, has led to the creation of several ETFs that buy and sell the shares traded by members of Congress.

So far, their performance has been impressive.
