A year-end analysis of congressional stock disclosures shows Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) finishing 2025 near the very top of a list no lawmaker wants to have to explain.

In its 2025 Congressional Trading Report, market watchdog Unusual Whales estimates Sewell’s portfolio generated a +67.9% return in 2025, making her the third-highest performer in the report’s top rankings.

Sewell outperformed the S&P 500’s +16.8% return over the same period, according to the analysis, which was compiled using required STOCK Act trade disclosures.

Only two lawmakers were shown ahead of Sewell: U.S. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) at roughly +79% and Rep. Donald Norcross (D-New Jersey) at roughly +71%.

The chart also labels Sewell as one of the “active traders,” which are lawmakers who filed stock trades during 2025, rather than benefiting from long-term positions.

Sewell’s public filings show at least two notable purchases during the year: Apple (AAPL) and NVIDIA (NVDA), two mega-cap tech stocks that were central to the broader market’s AI-driven run in 2025.

Sewell serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and holds top assignments to Oversight, Social Security, and Trade committees.
