Brian J. Mast has not publicly weighed in on STOCK Act violation – late disclosure of Virgin Galactic stock while sitting on aviation oversight subcommittee

Brian J. Mast has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "STOCK Act violation – late disclosure of Virgin Galactic stock while sitting on aviation oversight subcommittee" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation with oversight authority over aerospace companies, Mast would be expected to address his failure to disclose up to $100,000 in Virgin Galactic stock within the legally required 45-day window — a purchase made weeks after Virgin Galactic's president testified before his subcommittee. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Mast missed the deadline to disclose the Virgin Galactic stock purchase. When Business Insider broke the story on August 16, 2022 documenting the violation alongside Sen. Rick Scott, Mast did not return a request for comment. He was active on social media and in committee hearings throughout this period. Florida Politics also reported that Mast's office 'did not immediately respond to a request for comment' regarding the STOCK Act questions.
