Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.
That’s according to numbers shared exclusively by alternative data platform Quiver Quantitative, which has been tracking Congress members’ stock trades as politicians face growing scrutiny over their outsized returns.
Suozzi’s 35% windfall easily outpaced every major index, including the Dow’s 14% return, 17% for the S&P 500, and 21% for the Nasdaq, according to exclusive data provided to The Post by Quiver Quantitative, which tracks Congress members’ stock trades.
“Some members seemed to spend more time managing their portfolios than they did at their day job on Capitol Hill,” Quiver Quantitative CEO Christopher Kardatzke told The Post.
“We have seen members making day trades, options trades, and – for the first time ever – meme coin trades.”
Suozzi, who sits on the subcommittees on tax and oversight and was elected in 2016, previously faced a House Ethics probe into his trades. He ended the year with a $9.5 million stock portfolio — a gain of $2.5 million.
Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year and where he’s got an estimated $8.2 million invested.
Suozzi, who reps parts of Queens and the posh “Gold Coast” of Long Island, is notorious for his late filings and breaking disclosure rules — once being flagged for failing to disclose as many as 300 trades.
In the past, he’s brushed off concerns about his lax trading habits.
“Quite frankly, we have a lot going on in Congress. I have a lot of other stuff going on. And it’s just not — ethics is a big priority for me. But the — some of the formalities are not necessarily something I make a priority of,” Suozzi told the House Committee on Ethics in 2022 when it was investigating his stock trades.
The congressman’s chief of staff said several of the investments his boss made were done before he took office.
“He supports bipartisan legislation making its way through Congress right now to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks,” Matt Fried told The Post.
The Dem was recently nominated as “the nation’s first stock picking savant,” by fellow Long Islander and Pro-Trump GOPer Greg Hach — who’s trying to unseat him in the 2026 midterms.
“Fellow Americans, a once in a generation wizard is in our midst and we must take immediate advantage of it,” the Air Force veteran pointed out last month, mocking the fact that Suozzi’s net worth jumped from $2.2 million to $12.6 million in his nine years in the House.
“Tom Suozzi got rich in Congress, while his constituents got poorer. If that doesn’t say it all, nothing does,” Hach told The Post this week.
Former House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA), who announced she’s retiring at the end of her term in January 2027, brought in 18% on her portfolio in 2025, nowhere close to the 54% she raked in last year when she beat out every major hedge fund.
The California Dem was held back by her $12 million position in cloud company Salesforce, which was down about 20% in 2025.
On the GOP side, Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC) had the best year — with a whopping 52% stock portfolio return.
Moore — who was once accused of planting cameras outside his mistress’ house — actively day traded Cracker Barrel after the stock was decimated following the “woke logo” controversy last month.
The House freshman has already become one of its most prolific traders — with an eyewatering 200 transactions made in 2025.
His largest holding is an aggressive small cap leveraged ETF where he’s holding $1.2 million.
He was followed closely by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who made a 50% return last year — mostly due to his $4.4 million holding in Goldman Sachs, which makes up 90% of his portfolio and rose 53% for the year.
The formidable profits come amid growing calls to ban Congress from trading individual stocks, arguing lawmakers have access to market-moving information ahead of the public.
In September, the latest iteration of a trading-ban bill was introduced in the House.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA), who’s making an abrupt exit from Congress Monday after her public fall out with President Trump, earned herself a spot in the top 10 this year with her notable 33% stock portfolio return.
Greene — who’s dismissed the scrutiny over her trades as “laughable” — is walking away with a $3.6 million stock portfolio, spread among as many as 100 stocks, according to the data, having become one of the House’s most prolific traders before her early retirement from public life.
