Congressman Guest Faces STOCK Act Violation | Jackson News

Congressman Michael Guest, who oversees enforcement of the STOCK Act, may have violated it himself by failing to report three late stock sales from a family trust tied to his wife—trades in Chevron, Airbnb, and e.l.f. Beauty that should’ve been disclosed within 45 days but were reported over six months late. This isn’t his first rodeo: he also missed reporting similar trades in 2021. The timing is ironic—he voted for a House bill banning lawmakers from trading stocks, now headed to the Senate. His team blames a compliance firm’s oversight and insists he had no role in the trust decisions. He plans to pay fines and stay on the Ethics Committee. With seven other House members violating the STOCK Act this month alone, the scandal underscores a systemic failure in financial transparency—and fuels debate over whether Congress should ban stock trading entirely.
