David J. Taylor has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "Silence on prolific stock trading and potential conflicts of interest" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a congressman who trades stocks at a rate placing him in the top 8% of all members of Congress, Taylor would be expected to address whether his committee assignments and legislative work influence his trading decisions and whether he would support a ban on congressional stock trading. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Signal Ohio reported that Taylor 'didn't respond to phone calls and emails to his office about his trading activity or whether he would support a proposal to prohibit members of Congress from buying or selling securities.' During this period, Taylor was active on social media, issuing press releases on water resources, broadband, and immigration legislation, but made no public comment about his stock trading.
