Congressional Stock-Trading Analysis
An exploratory data-analysis project on U.S. House of Representatives stock trades. Reported transactions (from the House Stock Watcher dataset) are joined to each member’s party affiliation to study differences in trading behavior across parties.
Engineering note. The original version scraped party affiliation directly from house.gov, which broke every new Congress when the page layout changed. The project was re-engineered to join against the community-maintained unitedstates/congress-legislators dataset, a stable, versioned source that removes the fragile HTML scraping entirely.
